The Hubs Went Dumpster Diving

Hey Blogland! The Hubs went dumpster diving the other day. He came out a bit smelly but carrying these sconces & small mirrors. (what is up with Blogger these days? crazy stuff happening)








Anywho, I decided these would go along quite nicely with my Mrs. Lovett paper doll framed thingy but they needed a makeover first!














So I took them apart. The mirrors seemed to have quite a few years of dust & grime on them.








This is a riveting shot of me removing the hanging apparatus from the back of one of the mirrors! Thought you all would love seeing a shot of the action.







Being spray painted black!














Painting complete & ready for super cleaned up mirrors!









One of the glass candle holders was filled with a melted candle. I just soaked the thing in hot water until the wax was pliable & I flattened it out & it fell right out of the holder.













Small mirrors done!

Stay tuned to see these bad boys teamed up with Mrs. Lovett!
