DIY Studded Compact Mirror

This past spring break, I was visiting my sister in Rochester, New York, and I made this awesome little compact mirror. It was really fun, and here's how its done!

Order some studs. Here's a handy little link for those.


Get some Tacky Glue (which can be found at any craft store) and a Compact Mirror (found this one at Target for around $4)


Bend the prong ends of the studs inward. This can hurt your fingers, so you can use a prong press like the one found here.

Lay them out on the compact to find a pattern you like.




Fill the inside of the stud with the Tacky Glue.


Place the studs on, one by one, on the compact.


Let it dry, and... TA DA! A studded compact that looks super cool!


Hope you enjoy!
