I just finished a project for my advanced art class. It's a figure I painted on a mirror (which by the way is really hard to do..since I did it in pencil first :O)...but I absolutely love it. I made it a fashion kind of look so it's very elongated and slightly disproportioned...but in a cool way. I glued some accessories on it too and gave it a zebra print border! It's so cool lol. I'm definitely hanging it up in my room when I get it back..but anyways I was thinking of making mirrors like that for my friends for Christmas. Do you think handpainted mirrors would be a good gift? Also, any other arts/crafts kind of gifts you can think of that I can do? I love doing that kind of thing =] Thanks!

I think that would be a great gift, just make sure to keep the theme of their house in mind :)
A few other things that you can alter along that line is cork boards, chalkboards, & picture frames

you can handpaint almost anything, picture frames, candle holders...there is nothing wrong with adding some pizaaaz, and then giving it as a gift. my children and i are painting coke bottles, to make them into small vases, and baby food jars as tealight holders for gifts this year,...positively the best gifts come from the heart not your department store...
g'luck and happy holidays!!!

It's a great gift, just make sure you use their favorite motif, and don't be hurt if you go over there and you don't see it hanging.
