Want to add some serious flare to your home? Or just looking to design on a dime? The easy way to create incredible Infinity Mirrors

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Mirror
  • Double sided mirror
  • (bronzing)
  • Frame for design
  • LED Lights
  • Power source (9v)
  1. Step 1

    Gather the required materials...
    Your mirror and bronzing (2 way mirror) and frame should all be the same size, Plastic mirror material will allow you to cut to size for the project.
    LED will be best in a strand, long enough to extend around mirror size.

  2. Step 2

    Start with your frame, place face side down so your looking at the back of the frame, Insert the bronzing (2 way mirror) into the frame with the bronze side down, (so if you were looking at the frame you would see bronze) and the more mirrored side to the back of the frame.

  3. Step 3

    Using glue or staples, whatever means you choose to hold the lights in place, start placing the lights around the edge of the bronzing
    (2 way mirror)
    (Remember you are working from the back)
    Once the lights are in place, place the mirror face down into the frame over the lights, you should have a space between the bronze and the mirror where your lights are placed

  4. Step 4

    Seal your frame and turn on your lights!

Tips & Warnings
  • If your infinity lights do not appear to have depth check the following: 1) Make sure your bronze (2 way mirror) is facing the correct way 2) Make sure your lights are on the mirror, they cant reflect if they are not between the mirrors.
  • This requires minor wood/building skills
