Mini Mirror Tutoral

Need to make mirror faces for your latest little ride?
Tired of the nasty kit suppled "chrome" mirror faces?
Or, did you get one of those kits without any faces at all?

Here's what to do. Go to your favorite craft store and pick up some sequins. I like the big ones but the little ones will work as long as they are bigger than the mirror face you are making.


I trim the sequin a little larger than the face and shape it to fit with a 4 way nail file.


You can see the dividers that I use to measure the mirrors for the faces.
The mirror works well! I captured the reflection of the lettering around my cameras lens.
