How I Decorate my Mirrors for Christmas

2010 12 09_1277

This year, I decided to do something a little different. 

I wanted to decorate some of my mirrors. 

I found some beaded and mirrored garland and snowflakes and decided to hang them over my mirrors.

I really like how it turned out.

I think that it was a great final touch for my white and sparkly theme.

I also liked to see the reflections on the mirror.

The mirror on mirror looked great!

You can do this with just about anything…garland, beads, popcorn, Christmas cards, handmade snowflakes, ribbon, etc.  Just look for what you already have.

For my other mirror, I just hung a really huge ornament.

 I think it fills the mirror nicely.

I have two mirrors over my couch and I had two matching smaller snowflakes to use.

Plus, it matches my tree!

I think it adds just a little something to the room!

Again, you can use anything you have or  your kids can make homemade snowflakes and glue sparkles on.  (We usually do that for the windows and they LOVE it.)

  10. Hi love how you decorate your mirrors.....I love the mirror garland. I actually hang pieces of that garland in the trees on the woodline of my property and when the wind blows the mirrors twinkle and it's really cool. I've seen the round garland little mirrors referred to as Fairy eyes.

    Try it they will catch the sun.
