Steps To Making An Art Wall Mirror

By Arline Bradley


Making paintings out of mirrors has been a type of art technique that has existed for quite some time now as it can make a wall look extremely sophisticated. Now if one is interested in making an art wall mirror, there are some steps that he would have to take to create one. Once he gets used to these steps, then he may try to make his own creative techniques.

Now the very first thing to do here would be to gather the equipment and the materials that will be used for the project. It is best that one would get mirrors with beautiful wooden frames. If one could get his hands on the beautifully crafted wooden frames, then all the more it would be better for the artistic look that he will want to get.

After getting the mirror, one should now search for some interesting decorations that he may use for the artwork. Now the best type of decoration that he could use would be some cutouts from magazines or newspapers. He can actually use any types of materials that he would want but the most common would be the cutouts.

Now before putting the cut outs, it is very important that one would have a design and a theme already in his mind. Unless he would want to randomly put cutouts of random images on the frame, then he would most likely come up with a design first. The images that he would use on the frame would be related to the theme and design that he has chosen.

After one has already decided on the theme of his artwork, then he is now ready to put all the decorations there. Now in order to do this, one has to first make a mix that will allow the cutouts to stick to the glass. In order to make this mix, one just has to put equal parts of glue and water into a container and stir them.

Now when doing this project, one thing that anyone would not want happening is excess mix going to the glass or the frame. So in order to handle this issue, the best thing to do would be to put some painters tape on the glass. If one does not know what this is, he can get it in any art supplies store in his town.

Once the tape has already been applied, then one may now put the cutouts. Now in order to do this, one must first use a wet sponge to absorb some of the mix. After he has dipped the wet sponge inside the mix, then he should squeeze out some of the liquids and apply some of it on the frame.

After one has done this, then he may now put some of the cutouts on the places where the mixture was applied. Now one thing to remember here is to put the cutouts one by one. After putting the first layer of cutouts, wait for it to dry up first before putting the second layer of cutouts.
