Materials:
~small, round mirror
~blades of grass
~craft paint/paintbrush
First I cut all the blades of grass in half. I wanted to use them as sun rays but didn't need them to be as long as they were. Plus I only had a few left and I needed to stretch my resources.
Next I bought some yellow craft paint and painted all the blades of grass. I did a layer of white first so the green wouldn't show the light yellow paint as easily. I ended up painting both sides too just because the dark green would be very noticeable since it's so different from the yellow.
After the paint was all dry I glued the blades of grass onto the back of my mirror. I actually used wood glue because I was afraid hot glue wouldn't be strong enough and wood glue was the only other kind we had! Hey...it worked :)
After the glue dried I was done! Now it's ready to go in its new home on the end of crib, ready to look down on my darling baby girl.
