Can you figure out what I deconstructed to make it? What is that mysterious bauble? Here it is nekkid, hanging on a keychain:

Got it? Firmly? Then scroll at will.

Hint: it's not made of metal. Wha...? Suddenly a bit harder, eh? You still have time to change your guess. Sure, we'll wait...got a new idea? Great! Now scroll onward.

Okay, here goes nuthin'...
A plastic hand mirror from the dollar store. Isn't that funny? Looks so vintage-realistic, yet cost a buck. I bought a basketful!
Here's the DIY:
The plastic is what made this one fun for me! Instead of needing to fuss with a dremel tool or electric saw, I just scored the mirror handle with an exacto knife and snapped it off. Then I melted a small hole with a hot wire to add a jump ring. How easy shmeasy was that?
By the way, I now have several pretty oval mirror sections, sans handles, with which to play. Picture frames, maybe? Open to any and all suggestions for ways to use them.
Okay, do tell - did you get it right? If not, what was your guess? Let me know in the comments.
Wow I thought it was a spoon/fork/knife handle until you said it wasn't metal. This is so glam. Thanks for sharing! This is a sure cure for a "case of the Mondays"...LOL
ReplyDeleteOoh, lookee there: your sweet comment cured my own personal case of the Mondays! Thanks, my groovy friend!
DeleteI thought it was a plastic spoon/fork handle !
ReplyDeleteI totally thought it was a plastic spoon handle...so cute!
ReplyDeleteIt's a rare day when I actually get these right. I was thinking it was a plastic silverware handle, then my backup guess was a swizzle stick. You got us once again.
ReplyDeleteOhhh dear.. I was sure this will be a spoon handle as these are very common in the middle east and south Asia.. Divya also think alike that's why..But this mirror is too cute..lovely idea though..thanks for sharing :)
