Lace Reflections Tiered Crochet Mirror Frames FREE Pattern
by Kristin Omdahl
I’ve been wanting to make these for years! It took some trial and error to finalize the techniques and tools to make them a practical project. The options are limitless! Small, medium large, round, square, oval, and crochet edgings and more edgings… OMG I could make these all day long. You can decorate any space beautifully and of course they make one-of-a-kind, awesome gifts.
xoxo, Kristin

Assembly:
Join edging into a round. Block to a circular shape and let dry. Using hot glue gun, secure large to medium then medium to small lace rings together. Glue mirror to craft ring, then glue tiered lace rings to craft ring. Work in small sections at a time. In terms of the hours on a clock, glue and secure from 5:00-7:00, then 11:00 to 1:00. After that secure 8:00 – 10:00 and finally secure 2:00-4:00. In other words, work in small sections, and alternating opposite sides of circle as you go. Joining in sections allows for ease if your sizing is slightly off and makes a better fit overall.
Lay the large lace ring, right side up, flat in front of you. Lay the middle lace ring, right side up, on top of it. Turning up small sections at a time (as mentioned in previous step) place small beads of hot glue on the center 10dc scallop sections of medium ring, and secure them to the single crochet inner band of the large ring below it. Lay the small ring on top of the medium ring, right side up, flat in front of you. Repeat same step to secure the small ring on top of the medium and
large rings. Lay a bead of hot glue around the perimeter of the ring just outside the edge of the mirror and secure the single crochet inner band of small ring of lace to this edge, working in small sections at at a time.

Thank you for sharing yourself and your talents, I appreciate your honesty and resilience. I really love all of your patterns I crochet, I am trying to learn to knit, not going so well (lol) my problem is that I can’t recognize the stitches and if it falls off the needle how to put them back on but I haven’t given up it is one of my goals for 2017. Thank you so much for all you do. The crochet doilies around the mirrors do you sell the yarn in the gold color I am very interested in this yarn.
Thank you,
Pauline
