   The mirror, with its wide, rough wooden frame, is first painted with two coats of white acrylic paint. Then, for a more satin effect and to mask the relief printed by the bristles of the flat brush, the background is putoised with the same color.

On either side of the mirror, a lighthouse and a boat, with a "mosaic" look, are stenciled in two shades of blue (add a little black to get that "deep ocean" blue).

Then the Magic Motifs are applied. The images are simply transferred by applying the motif (after removing the protective film) to the chosen location, rubbing the transparent film to ensure the motif adheres to the frame (the motif's glue is pink). Then remove this film and rub with a sheet of sky-blue flock: the velvet remains stuck.

the beads are painted in white and blue (the same blue as for stencil painting) and placed on spikes to dry. Next, the beads are threaded through the mini-ropes like buoys. These strings are attached to the mirror using the glue line, which is very practical to use and holds the weight of the beads well.
Simply snail-shape the in-line glue, then attach the strings to form the coiled ropes. Hang some of the rope beads, applying just 5 mm of in-line glue in places.
