How to make a rope mirror

• Measuring tape
• Pencil
• Jigsaw
• G-clamps
• Hot glue gun
• Craft knife
• Lighter
• Scissors
• Screwdriver
• 30 cm round mirror
• Leftover timber about 10 cm bigger on all sides than the mirror
• Sisal rope 7 mm x 5 m
• Length of leftover ribbon
• Slotted mirror hook (pack of 2)

Step 1

Put the mirror on the timber then measure and mark 6 cm around it. Secure the timber to your work surface and use the jigsaw to cut it along the mark you’ve made.

Step 2

Attach the mirror to the middle of the timber circle with hot glue.

Step 3

Now attach the rope around the edges of the mirror with hot glue, until the timber is completely covered.

Step 4

Trim the excess rope and singe the end with the flame of a lighter.

Step 5

Using hot glue, attach a length of ribbon over the ends of the rope to conceal them.

Step 6

Attach a slotted hook at the back of the timber.
