If you have a decorating project or a craft that needs something extra, craft mirrors can add that sparkle. Craft mirrors are smaller mirrors ranging from an inch to a few inches in size. They can be square, round, oval, triangular, or heart-shaped. Used to decorate carousels, clothing, and arts and crafts, craft mirrors can also be used in several applications by any creative hobbies.
Home Decorating
To dress up your tub area, you add craft mirrors around the wall as a back splash. By gluing 4 X 6 tiles in straight rows two or three high, you can create a reflective wall that will make the area look larger because of the reflected light a space. It can also create a romantic feeling when candlelight is reflected during that relaxing bubble bath.
Walls can be spruced up by creating a mosaic with small craft mirrors. Designing your own focal point with these small mirrors will not only beautify a plain wall, but it will also let you release your creativity. You may decide to cover a half wall above a small dining area to give the illusion of more space. However, even a smaller project that leaves you with a star shaped design would add light and depth, as well as a touch of playfulness, to a child's room.
Gifts
Many gift ideas can be decorated with craft mirrors. You can cover the top of a jewelry box with a mosaic of small craft mirrors. Sun-catchers would be a beautiful gift for someone who loves the outdoors. They can capture the sun with several various shaped craft mirrors attached in mobile fashion to each other and hung in a window or on a patio.
