i had a light up make up mirror. then one day it fell and cracked on the side. :( i lived cautiously for fear of bad luck and glass shards. it still lit up, but was broken so they wouldn't have accepted it at a charity drop off. it was too nice to end up in a landfill - so i just covered the cracked side with a bunch of duck tape. it was a bit of an eyesore - but worked. ....now, with some hot glue and trinkets... it's artsy and functional. safety note: if I do plug it in and turn on the back light my beautiful mirror could possibly be a huge fire hazard. i would recommend a non-electric mirror. keep it safe, people.

step 1. Collect trinkets I used - beads, earrings, scrapbooking brass fasteners. beads, brooches, necklaces, rings, pendants I cleaned out a lot of junk jewelry from my bead box- making room for a lot of new treasures.
step 2. arrange the trinkets. mine are asymmetrical because i was trying to cover up the duck tape. i did a lot of overlapping. but you are free to arrange in whatever way makes you happy. at some point down the road - i may add more to the edges. we'll see...
step 3. hot glue. fun.
step 4. enjoy!
PS... i was inspired by my brooch bouquet that i used for my wedding this summer. collected by all of my friends and family at my shower. put together by J and J. :) here is a how to for a brooch bouquet... http://www.fancypantsweddings.com/how-to-design-a-brooch-bouquet/ isn't it a beaut!
