Mirror Enhanced by Pages of French Text $0

I got this mirror from Santa in 1998. Santa was Greg's mom. I realized, after staring at it for a week on bedrest in April, that the purple mat was killing my chi and fenging my shui and causing me to hate my bedroom. So I glued pages from this little French book on it and now I love it again. Don't worry, I saved the old key and metal French hotel tag and tied them on a candlestick in another room. I don't waste minutia, especially French minutia!

All I did: trim pages, glue on with gluestick, let dry, paint a thin layer of matte Mod Podge over the top, glue on gold bird a.k.a. "the cherry on top". Voila! It doesn't get any easier than this!

*the French book was a gift but the giver told me they got it on Etsy; gold bird gifted by Emily Southerland, my friend in Missouri who I'm certain has glitter in her soul
