Good Questions: Anyone Know of a Mirror Like This in US?

mirror051309.jpgNicole sent in a good question: I've been looking for a mirror for my apartment and found this one from photographer Hotze Eisma's portfolio. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find one like this in the states.

This has DIY written all over it. I know I've seen round mirrors at craft store like Michael's. All you need is a strong glue, like epoxy, to adhere them onto one another and your good to go! This shouldn't be to complicated or expensive. Good luck!

I have not seen one. But I would make one. If you took a stock rectangular mirror, and added circle mirrors around the edges...

I have circle mirrors hanging in my bathroom from Target that would work perfect:

Looks like something you could make with round mirrors that are sold at craft stores!

I agree w/ the folks above - Total DIY.

I'd just add that you'd need to adhere the big main mirror onto a slice of plywood to hold the hardware for hanging.

I see lots of posters also think of the DIY option. Thanks for posting the mirror .... I'm going to look for some circle glass to spruce up my bathroom mirror with. It's such a unique design.

On the DIY tack: IKEA sells small round unframed mirrors, but they only come in one size though.

I have something similar but that has squares around it and they are smaller, it is from Ikea.

My thoughts immediately jumped to DIY, too. In fact, I assumed it was handmade using those circular mirrors from Target, until I read the text.

Ummm no because even though we live in a free country some things still are a crime.

(Sorry I mean to be silly, not mean, but I think that is not a very attractive mirror).

Angray-Fantastico party supply on 6th and Brannon has tons of unframed mirrors for dirt cheap. They definitely have circular and square, and probably more shapes. Not to mention tons of other DIY project supplies like fake flowers, vases, ribbon, etc. Good Luck!
