Broken Mirror to Upcycled Cork Board!

Don't you just love a Great DEAL!?!  I know I do.. so when the hubs and I found this sweet mirror

for $10 on clearance we bought two... and of course being good sharers we gave one to the neighbors.

But .. oh no.. the neighbor broke hers.. YIKES!  7 years bad luck.. darn! 

But.. dada dum.. Pink Hero (he he he!) to the rescue!  I made it into this awesome cork board for her kitchen~

Want to see how?  Well, here it is!

I started with the empty frame, some fabric and an old cork board.

First I popped the back of the frame out.

Then I used the frame as a template for the cork board and I cut with a razor knife.

Here is the cut out.

Then I fired up my trusty glue gun

(notice my fancynapkin holder um I mean glue gun holder..

and then glued the cork to the back of the frame.

Ready for my fabric, Mr. Deville!

Next I hot glued the fabric over the cork board by placing it over the board and pulling it taut and then glueing and pulling all around.

Glued!

Then I screwed it back into the frame.

And brought it over to the neighbor.. who loved it soo much she grabbed  a hammer and nails and got busy hanging it up!

So happy to be able rescue her from bad luck and a bare wall!

I am sharing with

Love,
