♡ DIY Time - Revamping An Old Pocket Mirror ♡

Hi! ♡

Today I found, lying sadly in my bag, one side of an old heart-shaped pocket mirror I don't even use because I can't stand the fabric pattern on the back. I had to face it and decided to turn it into something beatiful, here's how it turned out:

 

 

 ♡ and here for the instructions: 

 

♡ So I opened up the back of the mirror, removed the frame and ripped the ugly fabric off, discovered an heart shaped piece of (old) cardboard, that you can definitely replace (me lazy).

♡ I found a nice fabric and placed it on my trusty embroidery hoop, traced around the shape of the cardboard, making it slightly bigger than the actual heart (a quarter to half an inch is ok) and started embroidering a cute design.
♡After this I cut out this shape and applied a piece of light fusible interfacing to set the stitches in place and make the whole thing sturdier.

♡ I grabbed my extra badass glue (mine is yellow and smelly) and carefully dabbed a few drops on the back of the cardboard, and placed it onto the back of the fabric.

♡ To make everything less messy I sewn (approximately) around the hangings of the fabric to keep it closed and still.

♡I finally glued the mirror carefully on the covering and glued the little frame as well to finish everything off. Put a weight onto it to dry (about one hour) while pressed and voilà:

♡ I'm so in love with it! ♡
