Hi, as some of you may know I run an
Altered Art Group for the over 60's and some of the ladies have physical problems due to old age. The eldest member is 90 and she has a wicked sense of humour. We all agreed that presents for men are not the easiest to make and the ladies wanted to make something small, so this is what I came up with.........
I had bought quite a few of these
Mirror Picture Holder Magnets from The Range when they had a sale.
The magnet is on the back and the picture of your choice just slips behind it.
This is what I used to alter it.................plus a picture from a Crafty Individuals Pad and a Rubber Stamp which I coated with Black Paint Dabber.
Then just added a Silver Crown which was dabbed with the Gold Alcohol Ink and Black Stones. So its easy peasy and fun to alter and takes no time at all.
The Mirror is made of Acrylic so it won't shatter if its dropped and the pink you can see is the reflection of my fingers when I took the photograph as the mirror still shines through the inks.
Am happy to say the ladies thoroughly enjoyed altering these mirror frames.
I had hoped to get this posted yesterday but blogger just wouldn't load the pictures. Thank you for calling in and hope you like this simple and cheap way to alter something. Take care and will see you soon. Hugs Annette xx
