She Upgraded This Mirror With Something I Thought Only Electricians Could Use!

According to makers society, here is what you need:

– A round mirror. Any size. It might be a good idea to have a look in some second hand stores for a shabby mirror you can refurbish
– 10mm thick circle of plywood
– Copper Tape – I used On Guard A sticky copper tape which is a snail and slug deterrent (it gives them a little zap when they slide over the tape)
– Upholstery pins or tacks
– Adhesive or super glue
– Length of rope – the length is up to you, as to how big your mirror is and how much you want your mirror to hang down will determine how much rope you need.
– Copper wire

Directions:

Place your wooden circle on its edge and apply a small amount of glue to the edge and press one end of the tape onto the glue, continue to add small amount of glue pressing the tape on the edge being carefully to hold the wood on it side so it doesn’t fall over. Leave the glue to dry for a couple of hours.

Thank you to makerssociety for this great idea and pretty pics.  See their site for further directions on how to hang it with rope like in the photo and for more info on the whole project.

Have you ever used copper tape in a project?  How did you use it?  Share your ideas with how versatile this stuff can be!
