Hi Vickie
I have made frames from them with groups of kids before. Just remove part of the backing in the center. I was able to use fingernail polish remover for mine. If that doesn't work, you can buy the silver remover at craft stores, and possibly hardware stores as well.
Just put a picture of the kids on the back, or a little saying, whatever you want to use.
Then you can use ribbon, small shells, or something to put around the edge to finish it off.
I'm not real good at writing instructions, but I hope you get the gest! :)
Have fun!

Mirrors: OH, so many wonderful, fun ideas! But BE CAREFUL these mirrors can be SHARP! Here's a few ideas:
---> take 2 matching mirrors and some high quality glue (in a well ventilated room) Read glue to see if it works with glass. Sandwich a piece of clear beading or fishline between mirrors. Let glue dry and make absolutely beautiful mobiles from the mirror pieces. (they will look like they are floating & spinning in through the air) Use the fishline with dowels or twigs from your yard to hang them from.
How small are the mirrors? You can mosaic with them onto a flower pot or a flat stepping stone along with other small tiles or glass beads. I have used super glue to fasten the items and then used tile grout (directions are on the container) to finish it. I have seen bowling balls mosaic-ed and they turn out looking like a garden gazing ball.
