Hey everyone, this was a mirror I did for one of my friend's sister's birthday. I did a mirror previously that did not have a defined edge, so you can see the difference and decide which one you prefer:) More information can be found on my blog. This is a simplified tutorial. There are many ways to do deco-den, This is just how I do it:)I hope you like and understand the tutorial:)

You Will Need (7 things)

  • Scotch Tape
  • 1 Compact Mirror
  • Cabochon
  • Tweezers
  • Rhinestone(s)
  • Decoden or Epoxy Glue that dries in 30 to 45 minutes
  • Toothpicks

Steps (5 steps, 300 minutes)

  1. 1

    Firstly, prepare the working area so that I will know where everything is.

  2. 2

    Decide the design of the mirror and arrange the cabochons to your liking. Apply glue to mirror and attach the cabochons.

  3. 3

    If you want a border, tape down the sides so that the glue will not touch the sides. Add the bigger rhinestones first. Use tweezers to pick them up.
    Tip: try to add more big rhinestones as they are more shiny, it will look nicer.

  4. 4

    From the edges, add rhinestones area by area. I recommend small areas at a time, then let it dry while you do another area.

  5. 5

    After a while, you will realise that you are finally done:) Ta-ta, now you have yourself a blinged mirror and you can dazzle everyone with it:D
