Get your crafting supplies ready, because this is a fun one!

What you need:

5 x Wooden discs – diameter 4.5cm x 2mm thick
Round mirror – 7.5cm diameter
Hot Glue gun + Glue sticks
Paint in your choice of colour
Small paint brush
Faux leather cord 3mm wide – 15cm long
Scissors
Ruler + pencil (optional)

Step by Step

A blue hot glue gun, a pot of white paint, some faux leather string, a pair of pink and gold scissors, a round mirror and some smaller round wooden discs, all flatlayed on a pale lilac background. There's a hand holding a small paintbrush that that has been dipped in the white paint.

one.

Using your paint colour of choice, paint all of your wooden disks on the front + around the edges. Leave to dry and then apply a second coat if needed (depends on what your paint is like - you do you!)

A pot of white paint and four small wooden discs on a purple background. There are two hands holding another small wooden disc, painting them white with a small white paintbrush

two.

Once all of the paint has dried, lay the discs painted side up in a flower pattern, so the sides are touching.

Five small white painted discs are laid out on a pale lilac background. There's a blue hot glue gun in the top left, putting some glue onto the back of a slightly larger, round mirror.

three.

Put hot glue in a circle on the back of your mirror. Flip it over quickly and press it down in the centre of the flower pattern. Tip - be careful not to put too much hot glue so it doesn't spill out of the edges, but just enough that it stays stuck!

Cut faux leather to 15cm and hot glue the ends onto the back of two wooden discs creating a hook for hanging. You can cut it longer or shorter to suit the height you would like your mirror to sit.

A pair of hands is hanging the completed flower mirror onto a hook. The hook is on the inside of a lilac Mustard Made locker door. There are lilac clothes hanging inside it.

five.

Pop the mirror onto the handy hook on the door of your locker. Now don't forget to give yourself a little smile when you open the door!

A line of four lockers, all with their doors open. A pale blush pink locker, a darker pink Berry locker, a pale Sage green locker and a darker Olive green locker. They all have flower mirrors hanging on the inside of their doors.

How easy is that? We love that this DIY can be personalised, you can match it to your locker colour or mix and match for a different combo! If you decide to give it a go, we'd love to see how it looks - pop us an email over to hey@mustardmade.com or tag us on Instagram, it will make our day!
