Step-by-Step Guide
1. Prep the Mirror Base
-
If your mirror has a plastic or wooden frame, consider spray-painting it silver for a true disco ball effect.
-
Let the paint dry completely before moving to the next step.
2. Arrange the Mirror Tiles
-
If using extra mirror pieces, cut them into small square tiles for an authentic disco ball look.
-
Arrange the tiles in a grid pattern around the mirror’s frame.
3. Secure the Tiles with Adhesive
-
Apply strong glue to each mirror piece and carefully place them on the frame.
-
Use tweezers to avoid fingerprints on the tiles.
-
Let the glue dry for several hours or overnight.
4. Add LED String Lights (Optional)
-
For a glamorous touch, wrap LED string lights around the mirror frame.
-
Choose warm white lights for a vintage glow or color-changing LEDs for a fun, party vibe.
