The Final Mirrored Compact!



This was the one I made as a gift and I know it's been received safely so ok to blog. There won't be any more for a while until I can go to Hobbycraft and get more mirrors - maybe for Christmas gifts! It is Crafty Individual papers as before, but a melt-pot clear UTEE piece in the middle - image transfer in as much as I peeled the white layer of paper off the Colisseum image so the piece is quite transparent.

  5. This is so cool... is this how you buy the mirror from hobbycraft?? Obviously I mean the blank version before you altered it!

  6. Hi Nicks, the mirrors are a very basic two inch square in a pack of four, with quite sharp edges. Good thing is, they are cheap though! I had got this lace tape in the same trip to Hobbycraft and I love it. I had planned on putting the mirrors into a frame made in the 'bug, but folding the lace tape over all the way round got rid of the sharp edges. So the little books themselves are just a couple of squares of chipboard, and I added a little spine to them, to take the depth of the mirror. Hope that is what you meant!
