What to do with a Broken Mirror!

Always trying to re-cycle…in this case broken mirrors! 

I have saved these fragments over recent years, knowing eventually I would find a project to use them in. 

 

The fragments of broken mirror are “buttered,” with tile adhesive and stuck to the wall, bit by bit.

  To protect fingers from the sharp edges, I am edging the project with glass beads…though you can use any practical medium for this, including wood, sea-shells, buttons…whatever you have!

This project, works really well above a mantle or shelf where candles can be placed in front to reflect magical light on a midwinter evening!

There was a time, not so long ago, when only wealthy people could afford mirrors.

Recycling and upcycling is always the challenge here at Bealtaine Cottage…
