Hello, dear friends! Things have been moving along at an incredible pace. My business has really taken off, I just feel so fortunate. I am back in California pitching my product to get it on shelves in stores. By this time next week we will be in two new locations! :D I got some project photos back recently and I am dying to show you! I'll get them in an post ASAP.
This was a 5 minute project, that you're going to love. See, Anthropologie sells this completely beautiful HOOP MIRROR. Of course it gorgeous- and I would love to buy it. But that's just not in the cards right now- so instead you can make your own for 2% of the cost. Here's how-
Materials:
- Wood Embroidery Hoops, 4-Inch
- or whatever size you want.
- Cheap craft Round Glass Mirror 4"
or an old mirror you're recycling. Mirror should be the same size as the hoop, try not to get one too much smaller.
- Paint/Stain for the Hoop. I used this.
- Mirror Glue- if desired.
- or whatever size you want. or an old mirror you're recycling. Mirror should be the same size as the hoop, try not to get one too much smaller.
Directions:
- Paint/Stain your embroidery hoop.
- Throw out the interior hoop- you only need the exterior/larger one
- If desired- Carefully place glue around the exterior edges of the mirror
- Insert the mirror into the larger/exterior hoop. Tighten the hoop around the mirror. [I didn't even bother with the glue, since it just hangs on my wall and feels pretty sturdy after the hoop was tightened.]
That's all there is to it. The super easy peasy way to hack Anthropolgie's gorgeous hoop mirror. I think I'll put it byeside my bed, I think it will look amazing next to some vintage art I scored. It feels great to do something crafty again- all business and no DIY makes Bec a dulllll girl! ;)
Thanks for all the support with my biz, ya'll! And if anyone wants to try my product- 1 half pint of Weatherwood is pretty much free right now. -here-
