IT’S EASY WHEN YOU KNOW HOW!

How about matching stars? Simply design the wooden stars like mirrors and decorate them beautifully. Also very suitable as gift tags.

How it is done:

First cover the mirror surface with masking tape. Then prime the wooden frame with a wide brush and chalky chic cocoa. Let it dry for at least 30 minutes.
Divide the frame into three parts. Separate the first part from the second part with adhesive tape, paint it opaque in the desired Chalky-Chic colour, let it dry for 30 minutes or blow-dry it. Then mask the middle part, paint it and let it dry. Finally the third part.
Apply the transparent Chalky-Chic protective wax to the areas to be sanded with a brush and leave to dry for 15 minutes. Sand the desired surfaces with sandpaper.
Spray a suitable stencil on the back with Fix-it adhesive spray evenly and allow to flash off briefly. Position the stencil on the mirror, press on and dab on motif after motif with the stencil brush in white. Let dry and decorate.
