I love the sea despite being afraid of the depths, the sand, the scenery—I certainly can't resist anything related to a beach. It's not my fault I love the sea so much; perhaps it's because the peace you feel there is something you won't find anywhere else, not like on a beach 😍🌊... Our last trip to the beach was incredible, wonderful. We spent a lovely day with friends and family. Enjoying each other's company on the beach is something I really love. The time I waited to go felt longer than the day we went, but only just, because regardless of time, my family and I always travel to the beach. Every time I go, I like to bring back a souvenir, but I prefer handmade ones because they have so much value. There were many vendors selling things on the beach, like souvenirs, jewelry, floats, clothes, food, etc., but I wanted something original, so, like the year before last when we went... It occurred to me, why not do it myself? 🥰🤭 And that's where the idea came from to bring some beach sand and some shells I found among the rocks outside the beach.
Como les mencioné el año antepasado hice de recuerdo un lindo cuadro de conchas marinas,si no lo has visto aún dale click aquípara que veas el proceso original de como lo hice,y me gustaría que te quedaras aquí unos minutos mas para que aprecies como hice este bonito espejo de recuerdo de la playa con temática marina y material de provecho.
As I mentioned the year before last, I made a cute seashell frame as a souvenir. If you haven't seen it yet, click here to see the original process of how I made it. I'd like you to stay here a few more minutes to appreciate how I made this pretty beach souvenir mirror with a marine theme and recycled materials.
- Seashells, sand, and pearls of your preferred size
- Scissors
- Liquid silicone
- Pencil
- Circular object to trace the round shape of the mirror
- Mini mirror recycled from an unused compact powder
- Jute fabric
- Piece of cardboard
Step 01
Let's start by taking a piece of cardboard and making a circle with the help of a lid or a circular object. It doesn't need to be very big, just medium-sized since the recycled mirror is small. I'm going to cut out the circle all around the edge after marking it with a pencil or pen. Then we'll cover the back of the mirror with the piece of jute fabric and with six strands of the same jute yarn we'll make a braid. We do this to form the rope that will help hang the mirror.
Step 02
We will make a small rope with the 3 cm jute braid and place it behind the mirror, gluing it with silicone. We will take the mirror and place it on top of the cardboard circle or base and mark the edge of the mirror to guide us. We prepare our sand in a small cup and add silicone to the edges of what will be our mirror and quickly add sand to give a layer of texture to the mirror and proceed to add silicone to both the base and the mirror. We place it in the center of the cardboard and glue it well with silicone.
Step 03
From this point on, after completely adding the sand and covering the mirror, we can add the pearls and shells. I started with the large one, then placed some along the sides until I achieved the desired design. I placed pearls on top and around the bottom. If you like, you can apply another layer of sand with glue to make the mirror's texture thicker.
This is how cute our mini souvenir mirror turned out, finished with a little creativity, just like this year when I went to the beach. I really liked it, honestly 🥰🪞 What do you think? Would another design look good on it, or should I add more pearls? Tell me in the comments; I'd love to read your suggestions.
Until the next blog post, see you soon! 🤩❤️
