hand mirror base

thingiverse

This is a hand drawn 3D pen creation I conjured up on the fly as a gift. I recycled a broken compact mirror and a jumbo popsicle craft stick. INGREDIENTS :) lol * 3D pen * Wood filament * clear filament * compact mirror * jumbo popsicle stick * silicone stencils ( for the embellishments) (not necessary if you can freehand) * Glue gun ( to attach stick to mirror) * your choice of decorations INSTRUCTIONS: The 3D Pen version (freehand) 1. attach the stick to your mirror with glue on the back of the compact mirror 2. begin to fully cover the entire back of your hand mirror with wood filament 3. carefully outline the front of the mirror in any shape you like as long as it creates a bezel to cover and hold your mirror in place and begin to fill this all in as neatly as possible untile the two pieces look like one whole piece. 4. once everything is flush and covered, begin to cover the entire mirror with scrolling or any design you like to give it a 3d effect 5. add a thin clear filament outline to the inside of the mirror and cap that with some wood filament. 6. add embellishments as needed to cover any imperfections 7. enjoy your recycled hand mirror! or better yet gift it to a special girl in your life ;) UPDATE: The slim version & original 3D printed versions INSTRUCTIONS: 1.PRINT in PLA wood filament 2.DIP the front center of the round area in a bowl of very hot water, it should soften the filament, quickly and evenly press an oval mirror into the filament and run piece under very cold water to set then add a bezel around the mirror and print to secure further. 3. DECORATE as you wish!
