OK, we've painted our board for our decoupage mirror. I have two coats of acrylic paint
on here and you want to let that dry over night to make sure that its really dry fully.
Your going to need two decorator napkins for this project. The first napkin will open up
and we'll decoupage, we will be decoupaging the back of the mirror first. So you want
to see on the napkin if there is any design element that you want to place on the back
of your mirror in any particular way. So maybe a certain swirl or a flower or something that
you like on the napkin that you want to display. So you want to lay the napkin over and just
look around and see what is the prettiest place to place the napkin and then very carefully
turn it over and trace around. Now this is before you separate your napkin you want to
trace around with a pencil you don't want to use a marker because you don't want the
ink to go through and discolor your decorator napkin. So were using a pencil to trace around
and then you'll cut a quarter inch all the way around outside of your tracing mark and
that will be a little bit to go around and to just over lap the side of your hand mirror.
