If your budget is tight and you need a quick, easy, cheap gift project, search no farther.  This picture frame and mirror set was made with items purchased at Dollar Tree, who have 8 locations in the Grand Rapids area and all of them carry these (or very similar) supplies.

For this project you will need:

  • A plain picture frame or mirror
  • Flat glass stones (available in the craft supplies aisle)
  • Mod Podge
  • Scraps of colored paper or magazine clippings (optional)

The items shown in this tutorial have been donated to a silent auction to raise money for the family of Scottville resident Julie Miller, who recently lost her life in a tragic car accident.  I am hoping that this low-cost, high-impact project fetches a nice price!

This project would also make a great gift for teenagers, and is easy enough that kids can help make them.
