Practically Perfect: $5 Challenge @ Living with Lindsay

I took Lindsay's $5 Challenge and made something new for my little hallway! I've wanted a mirror up here forever so I could make sure I don't have anything in my teeth before I leave the house.

Here's what I bought at the dollar store: The only round mirror was this "Fashion Mirror" that had the foam soccer ball frame around it. Sorry I forgot to take a picture of it first...it was beautiful. So I just took the foam off around it. Easy-peasy.

I also bought these two bird pictures. They're made of cheap metal and were too precious to pass up.

Then I bought some twine.

I also cut a big circle out of a Honey Nut Cheerios box. I know cereal boxes weren't on Lindsay's approved items list but I hoped she wouldn't mind. I needed something extra to put on the back of the mirror so I could make the mirror seem bigger than it was.

Front:

It's kinda hard to tell in the picture, but the twine is actually in three tiers. I did 3 layers of twine closer to the mirror and then two and then just one layer around the outside.

I also wrapped twine around the bird pictures to tie them in with the mirror. Just wrapped and hot glued.
