Spikes and lace mirror riser

After I bought a nicer makeup mirror, I realized it wasn’t the right height, even with adjusting my desk chair. I kept trying different boxes and none of it was “just right". Of course, I didn’t really measure this first, just eyeballed it. Works great! It’s a LOT of hot glue, so don’t look too close! :rofl:

The paint shows up a little better here. I did a base of black acrylic, then blue violet color shift acrylic, followed by tiny black glitter, and finished off with holographic glitter. It was a lot of drying time.

I had to adjust the sections a lot, but it’s level!

It works perfectly, even though it may not be! Thankful for Target shipping cardboard!

Thanks! I had the lace leftover from another project and I liked it enough that I bought more for something else. :rofl:

The fact its cardboard makes it more awesome.

Compared to my last cardboard craft (that I have yet to post), this was much easier. There must be a learning curve. :rofl:

That’s why we always save the good cardboard. You never know when it will come in handy. :wink:

Exactly! I used it up within 3 days of getting it, which has to be some kind of accomplishment. :rofl:
