Well, I bought a yard (I got lucky with the end of the roll, so I ended up with some extra) for $6.99 . Gorgeous dandelion print, huh?
For my plan of attack, I cut down the fabric so that it would be a little easier to work with. Then I centered the mirror. Truth be told, I wanted to hang it with the fabric overlap, but then I convinced myself not to take the easy way out. ;)
When I found the perfect position, I flipped the fabric and mirror over to get my trace on!
Cutting it out took a little while, but I was diligent. I made sure to cut inside the lines a bit so that I wouldn't risk the possibility of having the fabric overlap the edges of the mirror.
When I was done, the fabric looked a little doily-like. Awesome huh?
Next I turned the fabric face side down to the mirror's back and cut a small slit where the mirror's hanger was located. To adhere the fabric to the back of the mirror, I took very small bits of white sticky tack and pressed them to the back of the mirror near the edges (throwback sticky tack from college to be exact). Finally, I ended up with something like this:
And I absolutely love it.
Best part is, as we change styles, I can take the fabric off, retrace another piece, and re-hang the mirror. What do you think? I'm completely smitten.
Wow, this looks great!
