Dresser Mirror Simple DIY Project!

Want to make a pretty mirror for yourself or your kids room? If so, you’ll have to check out this Dresser Mirror Simple DIY Project! I haven’t made this fun craft yet, but I plan to very soon. My daughter saw the picture and requested that we make this project together. If you want to make this simple mirror craft too, be sure to have the following supplies on hand:

• round mirror
• large, round acrylic tray
• 2-3 bags of Accent Gems
• glue that works with non-porous surfaces (E6000 or Glu6 Original)

PS: I was able to find these accent jems, acrylic tray, and plate stand at my local Dollar Tree. If you’d like to save money on the mirror, you can usually find inexpensive mirrors at your local thrift store.
