How To Make 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.

Before starting off, the first thing that one would have to do would be to get the materials and the things that have to be used. Of course he would first have to get some mirrors that have nice frames attached to them. It will be so much better if he could get one of those mirrors with majestically crafted frames on them.

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 once he has already gotten all the necessary equipment for the project, the next thing to do would be to think about the design and theme. Now the cutouts or decorations he would pick would actually depend on the design he has in his mind. If he would want to do an abstract design, he may just put any random cutout there.

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 one thing that people would want to avoid while doing this project is to get any of the mixture on the frame or the glass. One thing to do here so that the mixture will not touch the mirror would be to put some painters tape on it. This type of tape can be bought at any art store that sells a variety of supplies for painters and artists in general.

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.

Now from there, one may now put the cutouts on the frame and let it dry there on the spot. One thing to always remember is to make sure that the first layer is already dry before one thinks about putting the second layer. So always remember that the first layer must be dry before the second layer comes into place.
