Soft and Reflective...

I recently purchased some 'Cars' material with my grandson in mind. So I thought I'd show you what I made with it. I bought one and a half metres in total  (that's just under 60").  I had some pillow forms in the closet from a while back, so I grabbed a 22" and a 16" form and made some pillows.

I had at least a 12" strip left over, so I pulled out an Ikea Malma Mirror and played around with it a bit.

I covered the mirror with some masking tape.

Then I placed the fabric over top and cut out the center of the fabric and snipped to the corners.

With a brush, I mod podged the wood and then placed the material over it, and brushed a coat of mod podge over it.

I let it dry, and did it again.

This shows the second coat--you can still see that it's a bit wet.

I made sure to mod podge the sides and back as well.  Once it was dry, I removed the tape from the mirror and glued some cord on the inside of the wood bordering the mirror. I used glossy accents to do this because it happened to be handy.

Here is the finished mirror:

Kai seemed to love the mirror and the pillows....and since I still have quite a bit of material left, my DIL asked if I'd do two more matching mirrors (she has a few Malma Mirrors waiting for some TLC).

I think they'll look real cute in his room!

I had a lot of fun doing this project, and it only took one afternoon! I love the Malma Mirrors. There's so much you can do with them. Check out this link for another project I make with these.

Thanks for visiting!!
