Instructions

  1. Small dsc00473 1309450102

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

  2. Small dsc00474 1309450679

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

  3. Small dsc00478 1309451336

    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. Small dsc00479 1309451463

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