This is such an easy little DIY.
I've created this little blog for those that flooded my DMS and email!
I do not plan to make and sell currently as they would be to expensive due to time it takes to make.
I will however look at making some DIY kits available to those wanting to try this project in the New Year.
For those that can not wait here are some links and instructions on how I whipped up this pretty for the photoshoot of my next drop
Sol x Sea.
For the base I purchased my mirror from Kmart
My shells I have in abundance for my jewels but they are available on ebay in bulk, sliced, scalloped eg check this link
Pearls are abundant in opshops, spotlight, online etc!
You could use a hot glue gun, E600 ( the best ashesive in the biz, but so stinky/toxic.
For this project I chose a low tox, low VOCS silicone in white.
I did not have time to paint my mirror base white so the silicone helped give a white backdrop too!
Use clear if planning to paint plywood a contrasting colour.
I wore a mask and gloves as the silicone fumes are still intense.
I suggest having a play around with ideas and layouts first, then working in sections so adhesive is fresh!
Happy crafting lover.

Not sure if I’m too late for this giveaway, but regardless I want to say how much I love Lunarsea jewellery – I purchased my first piece back in 2018 at the good old Denmark Arts markets – a shell necklace that I have worn almost everyday since. Sad to see you close your store, but I hope you have the most replenishing time ahead. My thoughts are with you and your family, and I hope to one day see your jewellery at a market somewhere on the west coast or beyond :) xxx
Looking forward to trying to DYI a small little one of these with my best friend over Christmas – we both have some beautiful shells we have collected from our travels to Exmouth, Gnaraloo and Timor leste. Thank you for the inspiration. xx
As a fellow creative, your brand has been such a inspiration and I love seeing all beautiful shoots you do with local girls especially Tilly! My favourite piece for years has been The Siren Necklace 🐚🐚 it’s just so stunning! Hope you can get a recharge and come back with a bang 🤍Bless you Celeste
Ahhh all of your creations are just so beautiful and unlike anything I’ve seen before. My good friend has a little she necklace of yours she never takes off and I have been dreaming of your art for myself but am so terrible at pulling the trigger for myself as I have two babies to buy for first! I can feel the love and dedication you put into each collection through the screen if you can believe that! I TRULY wish you and your family all of the best and I hope your creative energy can find its way back around to your beautiful jewels. Lunarsea is at the top of my wishlist but until then I’ll dream of the silver sun pearl necklace 💛
Going to try making one of these over the holidays with Rosie, so beautiful Lestie x
Wow! This is such a gorgeous mirror! Thank you fkr sharing.
What a beautiful addition to any home, I love it ❤️
I met you at the markets in Denmark years ago, I was about 13 I think and busking with my ukulele, I used everything I made that day to buy a little silver necklace with shells. It’s still on my neck today, everywhere I go, surfing, travelling. It’s the only thing I wear and People tell me all the time that they love it.
I am so sad to see lunar sea pause. Your art is beyond beautiful. And I hope it’s re birthed in whatever way it needs to
Absolutely love your creativity and the mirror is again beautiful and stunning in its simplicity
Have loved your jewellery since first seeing a pink shell necklace on a store owner in Dunsborough . Think I might have bought you out of those .. have just been back to the uk after COVID and gave my mum , sisters and best friend a shell necklace each to wear … very special .. brings back memories of beach fossicking as a child
Have a grounded Christmas and be surrounded by those you love and nature xxx
When I first come across your Lunarsea jewels I fell in love. For every birthday present I’d ask for your jewels to be my gift and I’ve also I bought jewels to gift to my friends for their birthdays. When I wear your jewellery I feel like my true self, they are so beautiful and really powerful in reflecting the mermaid within, especially my all time favs the Castaway earrings. Also the Howlite Spike hoops whenever I wear them I get many compliments. I bought a pair of earrings back in Broome and when I got home the back had fell off, I reached out to you on Instagram message if you could fix it as I love them so much and you saved them, that service is unlike any other jewellery brand I know. Even though you have decided to have a rest from the brand I will treasure your jewels forever.
Absolutely adore this mirror! My favourite piece from the new collection is the turquoise and pearl necklace in sterling silver. I purchased the sand dollar pendant hoop earrings to wear to my engagement party in 2019 and since then I’ve worn them to absolute death! All the best with your new endeavors Celeste xxx
This mirror is so special and so LunarSea!! I’ve loved getting to know you over the years and see your heart poured into every piece I’ve purchased! It’s what makes Lunarsea so special and why I always look here for my next forever piece of jewellery. My favourite piece at the moment is the gold fill tiny pearl anklet. It is such a staple piece and encapsulates why I love all your jewels so much, and that is because they are so lovingly and carefully made and I can wear them all the time! I’m really going to miss seeing you come up on my feed all the time but it is good to know you will still be around in other spaces!
Sending big hugs and best wishes xxx
This mermaid mirror is so nostalgic for me as it reminds me of the ones I used to make together with my family on holidays to Peaceful Bay! We would spend all day at Shell beach looking for cowrie shells and other beautiful ones and making mandalas, and then go back to our beach shack and get creative with our hot glue gun, shells and sea glass!🐚🧜🏼♀️
My favourite piece that you’ve created are the sterling silver cowrie shell hoops (cowrie shells are my weak spot🥹) I’ve bought these twice now as I sadly lost my first pair. I have my eyes on the stunning cowrie shell pearl drop earrings, so I can continue my cowrie shell obsession and have another one of your special pieces. 💕✨
This mirror is beautiful!
It deserves to be in hung in someone’s home where people can stare at it is awe of its beauty and your craftsmanship 😍 I hope I’m lucky to get it but anyone who does will be blessed to have a lunarsea item in there forever home. I’m obsessed with my gold fill high as kite earrings I wear them all the time with the pearl earrings!
Hope you and your family are going well and so sad to see your business not going as you’d hoped, hopefully one day it’ll have a rebirth xx

I absolutely love this mirror !!!!! I recently saw your post and I purchased a pair of the golld filled pearl hoops with turquoise cannot wait to receive them in the post !! .. I was devastated I didn’t purchase the gold filled cowrie hoops I have massive regret about that !!.
I will wear them everyday and make me feel like a mermaid ❤️❤️
All the best for the future and hope you have a relaxing Christmas xx
Wow, this is the ultimate mermaid mirror! I absolutely love it!
My favourite new Lunarsea piece (apart from the the beautiful pieces I already have ;)) is the golden paper clip necklace with the hooked in shells, as you styled it for your newest collection! It’s sooo stunning 😍
My favourite memories from the last years are all the times I went road tripping along the east coast without a specific destination and found beautiful beaches and awesome waves to surf 💙🤍
Celeste I wish you all the best and hope that you will be able to recharge and feel much better after a little break xxx lots of love
This is so insanely creative and stunning! Turned out so beautiful!
My favourite Lunarsea piece I’ve had my eyes on for a while is the Stirling silver Pearl chain choker.
Wishing you all the best Celeste, can’t wait to see what other things you have in that magical mind x
