Default Miniature mirrors?

Hello all,

Does anybody have a source for small mirrors? I'm thinking just maybe 3" x 3" square (or 3" circle) that is sold in bulk? Maybe sanded edges...no frames. But perhaps that can be applied with adhesive to projects?

Am I making sense?

Thanks in advance!

Ted, I saw small mirrors at Hobby Lobby in the wedding section. They had boxes of 1" circle mirrors and square ones that were probably the size you are talking about. I didn't price, just noticed them as I was shopping. You might check HL or Michaels?

I just came here to suggest Hobby Lobby too.

Try this:

Deprecated Browser Error

ETA: Not sure why the link is called that, but it seems to work.

Thank you both.

Being in California, we don't have Hobby Lobby. :( Yet!

I may look at Michaels or even Joann Fabrics. I did find this site:

Buy Mirrors for Less

so I may try them.

I'll check out Wal-mart. Thank you!

I do have an idea in store, but won't know if it works until I try it! ;)

Not sure how many you're looking for when you say 'bulk'. I have found small mirrors at dollar stores. I'm in Canada and we have a chain called "Dollarama". There are 5 (I think) per cardboard pkg (for $1.00) and they are shaped in various things, i.e. flowers, frogs, birds, butterflies. I used one on this card. They are not framed and have smooth edges and could be attached to a paper project.

Where in Ca are you Ted? I think I have ten of those mirrors that were in a yard sale pile. They are squares. If you are close enough you can come grab them or if you pay for shipping I can send them to you.

Hello ladies,

Thank you for the kind offers and help. I truly appreciate it!

Chef, thanks for the offer, but I think I'm going to check out that link I posted.

Beaddict, that's the link I posted! LOL! So perhaps that's an omen! ;) Thanks, just the same.

HeHe....I guess great minds think alike :-) Or maybe I'm just losing mine. Anyhow I saved this link for myself just in case your idea pans out and I have an overwhelming urge to buy little mirrors.

Can't wait to see what you are planning on doing with them....please show us... even if you can't seem to make it work....maybe a combination of brains could pull it together. :-)

Wow! I just noticed you're in the San Jose/Willow Glen area. I, too, am in the South Bay.

Ugh! I keep forgetting to check Michaels!

Thanks for the head's up, Karen! That's a great price, even without a coupon.
