Steps

    Preparation:
  • Use the medium-density fibreboard (MDF) circle as a template and trace the outline:
    • On the cardboard. On the resulting circle, add 3 cm all around and draw a circle (resulting diameter of approximately 21 cm). Cut it out.
    • On the back of the mirror sheet. Cut it out.
  • Cut strands of raffia to a length of about 8 cm.

  • Assembly:
  • Using a glue gun, glue the MDF circle onto the cardboard.
  • Peel off the adhesive backing from the mirror and stick the sheet onto the MDF circle, ensuring there are no air bubbles. Be careful not to scratch the mirror during this step.
  • Take a few strands of raffia (to create a strip about 4 cm wide). Using the glue gun, apply glue to the cardboard as close as possible to the MDF circle. Immediately attach the raffia strands folded in half.
  • Repeat this step until you have gone all the way around the circle.
  • Once the border is complete, cut a piece of jute twine slightly larger than the perimeter of the MDF circle (to easily tie the final knot). Thread the beads randomly, or by creating a pattern, according to your preference! Secure it around the MDF circle using the glue gun.

This mirror reflects the satisfaction of doing it yourself naturally!
