What you need to make a mirror pot:
• Hot glue gun
• Lots of old mirror, about 500g. You can also order pre-cut lengths of mirror from Upcycle
• Glass cutter
• Pot
Step 1
Hold the glass cutter firmly against the old mirror and cut into long lengths. Be sure not to make them more than 5cm wide.

Step 2
Measure the long strips against your pot and cut each strip to the height of the pot.
Step 3
Place a good, wide strip of hot glue on your pot and place your strip of pre-cut mirror onto the glue, press firmly and hold until glue is set.
Step 4
Keep placing your strips on the pot, making sure that the base of the mirror strips touch and that you leave a gap at the top to compensate for the shape of the pot.
Step 5
Cut your leftover strips further so that they fit the top of the pot, these pieces will be more or less square.
Step 6
If you wish to you can now grout your pot as we did with our mosaic Teddy on the Moon or you can leave it as it is.
