Imagine a mirror all adorned with nice dried flowers and foliage! Why make one or anyone else, make one for your self! It’s too pretty, believe me! You will surely love to have one and flaunt it at your look at times!
What all do you need,
•    First, you need a hand mirror
•    Secondly, some dried flowers and foliage (I personally prefer to do it with a small sunflower and some evergreen leaves, preferably eucalyptus)
•    Some decoupage solution
•    Finally, a brush
Instructions for you:
1.    Again, start off with drying the flowers and foliage you intend to use in the traditional air drying procedure or with a microwave.
2.    Now cover the back of the mirror with a coat of gloss sealer using the brush.
3.    Now before the gloss sealer coating dries off place the leaves on the back of the mirror and coat it with another layer of the sealer.
4.    As the coat dries, give another coat of the gloss sealer and this time place the flowers on the flower back.
5.    But you have to place the flowers a little carefully, see that no air bubbles lay trapped below the flowers or the flower petals.
6.    Now place another layer of sealer on the flowers with the brush.
7.    When it all dries up apply three another coats of gloss but allowing drying in between the individual coats.
8.    The final coats are necessary as they enhance the final design projection while the mirror is used to later on.
Wow!! There you have the dried flower adorned mirror, isn’t it pretty?
