Glass Ornament Mirror
Christmas Crafts -- Broken Ornament Mirror Barbara Crews

If Christmas decorating has been a little hard on your glass ornaments, find a way to re-use them!

Many folks will use broken Christmas ornaments in a wreath, but I decided to play around and see what else could be done with the glass pieces.

I purchased an inexpensive mirror with a flat frame from Big Lots for $5, gathered the glass ornaments, a lot of hot glue and got to work.

Although the mirror is on display, I'm on the lookout for a great looking trim cord to add around the outside edges of the frame to protect against any sharp edges that may extend past the edges.

WARNING:

  1. The sharp edges on the glass and mirror can be dangerous to the touch. BE CAREFUL and keep away from children.
  2. Be sure to wear gloves and safety glasses when working with this project.
