Diy magic mirror videos survelliance8/14/2023 The audience does not see the box, as the red (light up) side is the side that faces them. I made a silver mirror-like cover for the box out of cardstock. The battery box is attached to the mirror on the opposite side using double stick carpet tape. To make the mirror “magic”, I glued on a set of battery-operated fairly lights. I also covered the handle with the silver hologram “leather”. I added silver braid to the velvet, and silver hologram sequins to the edge of the mirror. The main glitter is a holographic silver piece of the “leather” that you can purchase in 8.5 x 11″ sheets at craft stores (the same stuff the glitter headbands that were popular a few years ago were made out ) I cut it in small pieces, and glued them around the edge, to accommodate the curve. I actually used a steamer to almost “shrink-wrap” it to the shape (but that only works for this sort of velvet).įor the decorations I used scraps of stuff that I had. I liked the velvet as it had a little stretch to fit down the sides of the styrofoam. fleece, felt, something glittery, even paint. I like the way velvet looks, and the depth the texture gives it.

To cover that, and give the mirror more shape, I found a piece of packing styrofoam, and cut out the oval shape of the mirror back (making a groove for the handle–you can see it extending up as the velvet wrinkles around it. Since we used a broomstick, it stuck up about 1″ off the back of the mirror. you can find these in my Etsy store “Costumecrazed”.ĭollar store “silver” platter and broomstick handle. You can read my description below, or I recently made a video tutorial.
