Coastal Tabletop Mirror

I love making home decorations with shells that I've collected over the years. 


We live near the beach and visit the Caribbean often so I have a whole box of beautiful shells, sea glass, and treasures. 


While I was in Target the other day I found a mirror and I knew just what I was going to do with it. 


Take a look...

The mirror I found in the Target Dollar Spot was perfect for this project.


This mirror had a circular frame built into the glass and had little rubber feet on the bottom to protect surfaces.

My shell collection consists of large and small shells, sea glass, pieces of unique pottery found on the beach, and a little sand.

Using E6000 glue, I glued the shells around the mirror beginning with the larger shells spaced around the mirror.

After I added the larger pieces I began filling in between the shells with smaller ones. 


If you don't happen to have a shell collection of your own you can purchase shells on Amazon.

I continued adding shells and treasures until the mirror was finished.

The best part was adding unique finds like the fishing weight I found on the beach.

The tiniest shells were added in between the other shells.

The shells stick permanently to the mirror with the E600 glue!

You can use any round mirror for this project but this one has a clear frame that is perfect for framing the shells. 


You could even paint the shells silver or gold!


These would make great gifts!
