One of my most popular craft projects ever was the driftwood mirror that I made a few years back.
Well, I have recently decided to add even more driftwood to the mirror, and so it now looks like this:
To see how I originally made my Driftwood mirror, see this post HERE.
From there, I just simply glued a second layer of driftwood onto the first layer. Originally I used Gorilla glue to hold it all together, but for the second layer I was able to use hot glue. The hot glue did not work for the first layer, because it needed something stronger to adhere the driftwood to the mirror, but the hot glue works fine for gluing driftwood onto driftwood. Wood glue may have worked as well.
When I originally made this mirror, I used driftwood pieces that were around 5-7 inches long. For this added second layer I used longer driftwood. The added pieces of driftwood are about 8-11 inches long.
Because the mirror is so much thicker now, I also had to add a wire to the original hook to be able to hang it.
I’m really excited with the way it turned out.
I may even add a few more layers to it, well that is, the next time I’m lucky enough to go to the beach to get more driftwood.
Like I shared in my last post, I have hung the mirror up on my fireplace.
