I removed the mirror and then wrapped each side with fabric. I used my favorite decoupage to stick that fabric on and it's not going anywhere. Ever.
This is my best shot of the full mirror. It is tough to photograph mirrors. I certainly didn't want to get me in there... 6:30 in the morning, PJ's, no mascara... eek. But instead, you get to see my cat dish. Not much better.
This one turned out blurry. But I had to show you because the image in the mirror looks better. That part came in nice and clear. Nice.
I added a fun flower at the top. The middle is a button I cover in batting, then fabric.
A close-up of the flower, because flowers take good pictures. So photogenic!
I wanted you to see how I mitered the corners. It took a little work, but I got them just so.
Enjoy! I hope you have a nasty mirror you can recreate with fabric!
PS. Linking to a few parties...

I love the way that came out-beautiful! LOVE the flower too! Good job...
This is a super-cool idea. I love the fabric that you used!
Very cute way to bring a little color to a room.
I may just "steal" that idea, I have the perfect mirror. Your choice of fabric is what makes it so great, not sure I have any that looks that good, I'll have to go thru my stash to see what I can come up with.
WOW!! What a great idea, I love how it looks!
That looks terrific!
I love that! Great job!

Ohhhhh, VERY pretty. It turned out really well. I have lots of frames left over from a party I did. I'm adding this to my "to do" file! I just started a link party and I would LOVE it if you'd consider adding your crafts to it! I'm having flower headband giveaway as part of our first party too! http://imtopsyturvy.com/index.php/2010/07/topsy-turvy-tuesdays-1/
