Michael Mirror
Sooo I'm on a roll here and this is the 3rd mirror that I have created as a Christmas present this past year. Now I know Christmas is over but I still wanted you to see the outcome and possibly create a mirror for yourself. This mirror is inspired by the Michael Mirror at Zgallery which retails for $349. I made this mirror for a friend Ronslan and she absolutely loved it....Yippee!!
She was so excited. She wants me to make another one!!! Lala,,
Ok the Michael Mirror comes from Zgallerie for a $349 and 45''W x 52''H. Wow.. Do I even need to explain this one... otay otay... I will.
It is quite a big mirror. If you want to make one on this scale your square mirror would need to be around 45"x52". Otherwise, you can make a smaller version which is what I did with a slightly different design. Here is what you will need for my design.

Steps for my design:
1. Glue 1" tile mirror starting from the outside working your way inward around entire frame 1x. (only 1 square will be created with the 1" tiles)
2. Next you will only use 12 1" tile mirrors creating an L shape in each corner of the mirror. (there are 4 corners). 6 of the 12 tiles should be glued making the 1st line of the L (like this--->|)...and then the remaining 6 tiles of the 12 will be used to make the rest of the L (like so----> __ ) see below

3. For the final step you will only need 3 of the 1" tiles to create a shape like :.
this shape will be glued inside of the L shape design which was created in step 2
see above
4. Attach hanging device and you're done!!
Notes: If you want to scale down the mirror but have the exact pattern of the Michael Mirror you will need 12 packs of tiled mirrors.Hobby Lobby 1" mirrors are $2.99 a pack but don't forget you can use a 40% or 50% off coupon when they are available.
