This was the final touch I wanted to make for our bedroom redo. I've loved these mirrors for ages, even though I'm not a fan of mid-century modern or contemporary furnishings. I think it turned out great and cost $11 because I didn't have a coupon for the big mirror.
I started by gluing two different sizes of wooden skewers cut to different lengths to a 5" circle of black foam core. I went heavy on the Tacky glue and let that dry overnight. I then had to wait several days for it to be warm enough to spray paint the piece silver. I glued another 5" circle over the skewers for a little more stability. On the back I glued a 2" square of the foam core with a wire formed into a loop pushed through as a hanger. The final step was gluing on the little mirrors. I had 75-90 1/2", 3/4", and 1" mirrors and just started placing them randomly. I have a mirror on every stick and some have two. I used contact cement to glue and if the mirrors wanted to slide I held them in place with scotch tape until they dried for 24 hours. AH had the hard job of getting it centered on the wall and hung.
