"ROBYN LYMAN: Hi, this is Robyn on behalf of Expert Village. We're going to go ahead and finish the other half of our mirror assembly. First, we need what is called a collet. We put it in--those come in different sizes, but I like the thin one that I've got lately. I got them from American Button. You can find them online. Because they're a little narrower, in that way you have more mirror to see. I'll pop that on, then I grab a mirror. I used to cut my own mirrors. I developed my own little circle cutter and cut the mirrors and then--it was such a pain. I ruined a lot of mirrors before I learned how to cut them. But it's a lot cheaper just to have someone else manufacture or do them and give it to you. Now, I'll take my hot glue gun. Put a little hot glue on here because you want this to bond. This way, it won't rattle and it will still hold nice and solid. Now I'll just switch it over, press the other side, and [SOUNDS LIKE] walla. Now this is the first time this drawing has ever been made into a mirror. It's pretty simple, basic pattern, but as you saw with the hearts and all the other things you can do with it, you can make a lot of different things. Now I gotta decide who I want to give this one to."
