How to fix seashells to a lge bathroom mirror, help please

cherydee

I have a large square mirror that is firmly glued on my bathroom wall, the mirroring along the top edge is deteriorating and as I am about to redecorate with a beach theme. I thought I could glue seashells on the mirror all the way around to give it a border, but I think it's going to be extremely difficult with not lying flat. Anybody any ideas, or maybe not use seashells and use something else to decorate with a beach seaside theme. Thanks for any advice given.

As a child we used to spend hours making jewellery boxes by sticking shells in putty, maybe putty would work.

Would maybe a hot glue gun work - as its not runny you could put the glue on the back of the shell and onto the mirror frame?

Polyfiller mixed with PVA glue perhaps? Tile cement?

Well I've bought the seashells at Dunelm today. Thanks everyone, I think I'm just worried I'm going to have to stand forever holding a shell in place on the mirror until it sets.

Try a glue gel, something like the clear silicon sealer you can get in large tubes for glass, BUT ensure there is plenty of fresh air whilst using it!!
