My dad used to collect stamps and they just lie around in the cupboard. No-one looks at them so i used some to make a pretty and unique handmirror. This is my first How-to so forgive me if it's not the best. Enjoy!

Description

My dad used to collect stamps and they just lie around in the cupboard. No-one looks at them so i used some to make a pretty and unique handmirror. This is my first How-to so forgive me if it's not the best. Enjoy!

Instructions

  1. Small 8252

    Get some stamps (I used ones from places i've been to) and a mirror. I found some cool paper to give the mirror a nicer finish. I used stickers for stamp albums to stick on the stamps to avoid damaging them but tape or glue will work just as well.

  2. Small 8253

    Draw around the mirror on your paper and add a 1-2cm border around it.

  3. Small 8254

    I put double-sided sticky tape around the edges of the mirror to stick on the paper. Make slits in the paper so you can fold it around the mirror if it's circular.

  4. Small 8255

    I used to normal sticky tape to stick down the paper because it was quite thick.

  5. Small 8256

    I then stuck on the stamps and voila, a personalised hand mirror.
