Reuse or repurpose for Frosted designs

Over at frosteddesigns. they have a great challenge this week / fortnight . Reuse or re purpose ! I have been holding onto this mirror i brought for my daughter years ago , Not knowing what i was going to with it . I knew it was to good to throw away , and she really does not like Bratz now ( lol ) she is 14 !
This is what the mirror looked like before .

And this is the draw at the bottom of the mirror .I covered it in old book paper .

And pulled of a few feathers of this feather boa i have been keeping , yep that's another thing i could not throw away .

I used some old ceiling white paint to cover over the book paper .

Found an old draw knob i had in my stash .
The thin pink ribbon across the front was of a top i brought ( the ribbon that holds your clothes onto the hanger ) that's another i have heaps of , ribbon of clothes ..... lol

I also made paper roses out of the book paper , and the leaves are out of tissue paper , (another thing i keep anything that comes wrapped in tissue paper ) ,

The pearls here are of a broken necklace my daughter gave me and yes i have her keeping all of her broken jewellery for me too . 

The little pink bird the bird cage and the leaves on the branch in this photo are Christmas decorations i have been keeping !

Here are the feathers of the boa and i made the little nest out of wire.

The only new thing that was brought for this project is the light blue spotted paper from Prima ( oh and yes i used Prima something i don't do that much ) .

I'm really happy again with the way this one has turned out .

Now i have to get the drill out to hang it up in my scrap room .
Pop over to frosteddesigns. and join in the fun !
Thanks for taking the time to look .
Xx
