Below you will find many Ideas for Mirror Arts & Crafts Projects & Activities with Mirrors for Children, Teens, and Preschoolers.
A
Mirror Re-do For a Fashionable Diva Kids Craft -
Imagine how delighted I was . . . a mirror just for me! I’m
a brunette though, and the mirror was blonde, so I had to change it.
Plus lavender doesn’t go with my decor. I realized when
contemplating the re-do that this size would be perfect for a kid’s
room. Considering that I am a child at heart, it worked for
me. If you’ve seen me here before, you know that I’m
a big stash user, and this project is no exception. It cost me
just $1 to make.

Homemade
Kaleidoscope Toy -
The kaleidoscope is one of those toys that make me nostalgic for my
childhood. Today, just before children go back to school, I'd like to
show how to make a homemade kaleidoscope toy. On the photo above you
can see samples of what's seen through the kaleidoscope I've built
with my kids. Each pattern is enclosed in a black circle because of
the way I photographed them. In reality though, you should see
continuous patterns throughout the field of view.
How
to Frame a Mirror With Tile -
Framing mirrors with tile is an easy craft project that completely
changes the look of a simple mirror. You can break the ceramic tile
and create a mosaic mirror frame, or you can use small glass or
ceramic tiles for a clean line. Create a custom designed mirror to
suit any room with a bit of tile and adhesive.
How
to Make a Locker Mirror From Plastic Canvas -
One staple of an outfitted school locker is a small locker mirror to

locker.

go.
Make
a Kaleidoscope -
A kaleidoscope is an ideal science project that teaches kids how to
reflect the spectrum of colors and make beautiful images. In a
kaleidoscope, mirrors reflect multiple images off of one another.
Make
a Silver Starburst Mirror - I think it turned out pretty good for a $3
mirror!
Make
a Starburst Mirror -
I’m a fan of retro-styled starburst mirrors, and I just knew I
could make one on a dollar store budget! I’ve seen these all
over the place, from design magazines and blogs to my grandma’s
house, and the starburst is a motif I definitely respond to. Pottery
Barn has one for sale right now that is $449.
Make
a Toy Periscope -
Imagine going to watch a match starring your favourite teams and then
not being able to see it properly. This could well be the case if you
are seated at an uncomfortable spot.

Mirror
Necklace Holder -
Okay, are you ready for another really fun and simple craft? I loved
making this, it was easy, fun, and very functional. I normally just
have my necklaces strewn all over the place and this was a great way
to help me organize them a little better.
Mosaic
Mirror - The technique of mosaic was already being
used in ancient history. It is simply the assembly of pieces such as
glass, marble, ceramic, porcellan, stones, etc... to produce a new
pattern on objects such as wall murals, buildings, artworks, and much
more. Today the technique is still being used. Especially in the
Mediterannean areas of southern Europe and in the Middle East, you
can see wonderful examples of this craft technique. It is so easy to
learn and every day objects such as wood, vases, glass, pottery,
etc... can be altered into treasures that will be cherished for a
long time. Glass nuggets are uncomplicated to use for projects such
as the one above but you can create designs and pictures using broken
pieces of pottery and tile just as well.
Pressed
Flower Mirror -
For a fresh spin on vintage summer decor, make this pressed flower
mirror and brighten up your home.
Recycled
Mirror -
How many times have you broken a mirror and been left with broken
shards of glass to sweep up?
Recycled
Mosaic Mirror -
Mosaic mirror without the messy grout. This is a great use of
recycled cut up credit and gift cards. Plastic cards are cut up and
glued onto a painted wood frame that give it a whole new look with
dimension, color, and without the messy grout. Sometimes even the
back of the gift cards are more interesting to display than the
front.

beach in Florida and a mirror that I picked up in a dollar store. I
used a glue gun to attach the shells. It was so easy and came out so
pretty.
Shell
Mirror -
I previously replied to a request of what to do with excess shells. I
explained how I decorated wooden or chipboard (MDF in Australia)
mirror or picture frames with shells.
