Today we are decorating our own “Mirror Mirror”. Our mirrors are hand held, not on a wall, but all the more fun to hold and play with anywhere!
With the amazing costumes and design elements in the new movie, just as magical as the story, it was fun to come up with the colors for decorating our mirrors. My older daughter chose blue and yellow, themed after Snow White’s dress in the movie pictured here:
My younger daughter is obsessed with pink, so we paired it with purple to make it bold and fun. This would make a perfect craft for a party. I’m sure there is a princess party in your future if you have any girls in the house!
Supplies:
one hand held mirror per child glue – tacky glue or glue dots work best, or hot glue for an adult to use pom poms – sparkly kind pony beads glitter glue ribbon – mine is 5/8 glossy ribbon **really you can add anything with coordinating colors or anything with sparkle. Buttons, sequins, feathers, etc.
Instructions:
Start adding glue to the outside frame of the mirror and add your embellishments. We used pom poms, pony beads, and glitter glue. Both of my daughters are very into patterns, so everything was 1-2-1-2, etc. Love it!
Once the top of your mirror and embellishments are completely dry, you don’t want anything falling off as you work, add your ribbon. Cut a 2-3 foot long piece of ribbon, long enough to wrap around the entire handle. Put a dab of glue in the center of your ribbon, making sure it is secure, and then start wrapping your ribbon around.
You can simply tie off the ends together in a knot when you get to the bottom, like the blue one pictured below, or you can cut 7-8 more 5 inch pieces of ribbon and tie them off in knots to create a more frilly finish.
I also crafted a mirror for me!! I LOVE Snow White’s costume from the ball in the movie where she is wearing white feathers.
So I covered my mirror with feathers and a little ribbon to resemble her look. It’s so glamourous, fit for a queen… bwhahahahah (evil laugh)!
With Mirror Mirror coming out on March 30th, I’ll be sharing one more craft in a couple of weeks. Just in time to get you excited to see the show.
