Instructions:

1. Using sharp scissors, cut dowels to the following three lenghts: 5 1/2 inches, 4 1/2 inches, 4 inches. For this pattern, you will want to cut twice as many of the middle size (4 1/2 inches) as the other two sizes.

3. With the mirror lying on a flat surface, use super glue to affix the dowels to the mirror’s rim. As you approach each corner, angle the dowels slightly so that the pattern rounds the corner naturally. If any dowels pop off or leave dark marks, slide paper under the dowel and re-coat the rim with spray paint.
