REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WORK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE THINGS THAT CAN BE HARMFUL, LIKE SCISSORS, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE THESE CRAFT PROJECTS ALONE.

  1. Lay your mirror on a flat tabletop, then line all four sides of the mirror with your clothes pins. Lining up your pins in advance is a great way to find out how many pins it will take to frame your mirror.
  2. Once you've figured out how many clothes pins you'll need for your frame, it's time to paint and decorate them with your favorite colors. To make it easier, find a stick or piece of wood at a craft store and clip a bunch of pins to it while you paint them. When you're done, let them dry for a few hours.
  3. When your clothespins are dry, glue them onto your mirror with the clip sides facing out make sure the glue you are using works with glass and wood bond. You can do a test first on your mirror with one pin.When you’re done, let you mirror dry for a few hours.
  4. When your mirror is in place, have an adult help you hang it on the wall. Use the clothes pins to hold your favorite photos, postcards, reminder notes, or jewelry.
