Reflecting everything that is nearby, a multi-colored mirror mosaic on clothes and accessories is more relevant today than ever.

We will tell in detail, with illustrations, how to make such a decor with your own hands at home. You will need to stock up on goggles, old CDs, colorless nail polish and a hot glue gun or a suitable glue. Other tools and materials are probably already in your household.
FUTURISTIC MOTIV ON TOP

Separate brooches of different geometric shapes are arranged in the form of a motif reminiscent of modern painting.

YOU WILL NEED Two CDs 25 hairpins for a small brooch or 25 small safety pins; adhesive thermal gun; colorless nail polish, safety glasses.
STEP 1 Wear safety glasses and cut out triangles and rectangles of different sizes from the discs.
STEP 2 Secure the sections with transparent nail polish so that the protective film does not peel off the pieces of the CDs. Let the varnish dry.
STEP 3 Glue the pins on the upper side of the disk pieces and allow the glue to dry completely.

STAR HAT
With these mirror stars you can decorate not only a straw hat, but also a felt hat and even a knitted beret.
YOU WILL NEED Packing of self-adhesive mirror stars, rep tape 1 cm wide, 45 cm long; stamping foil; adhesive thermal gun.
HOW TO MAKE On the big star, remove the protective film from the back side, glue the rep tape on the inside so that it protrudes by 5 mm, lay the tape in the corners with small folds, and tighten the ends of the tape and fix it with a heat gun.
Cut 5 small stars out of foil, for which use a small star from the packaging as a template. Arranging the stars arbitrarily (as in the photo or at will) on the hat and stick with a thermal gun.

NECKLACE "KALEIDOSCOPE"
A mosaic of dozens of tiny mirrors changes color at the slightest movement.
YOU WILL NEED Nappa leather OK. 20 - 25 cm; chain with individual links 60 cm long; self-adhesive mirror mosaic: squares with side lengths of 5 and 10 mm, circles diam. 1 cm; sewing threads; textile glue.
HOW TO MAKE Cut 2 triangles from the skin: larger along the upper straight edge 22 cm long, along the beveled edges 15 cm long. And small along the straight upper edge 19 cm long and 13 cm along the lateral edges. Cut out strips of 1 cm - 3x wide 15 cm and 1x 10 cm long.
Sew the ends of the chain to the upper corners of a large triangle. Glue a row of square pieces of mosaic along the upper edge of a small triangle with a side length of 5 mm close to each other, then paste down the entire surface of the triangle in a checkerboard pattern with 5 mm pieces.
Place a long strip of skin on the left beveled edge, at a distance of 4 cm near it, lay a short strip of skin on a smaller triangle.Wrap the upper ends around the upper edge inward and sew or glue, leave the lower ends free.
Stick the small triangle inside out onto the large triangle, the edges of the large triangle evenly protrude. Apply the rest of the skin strips at a distance of 2.5 cm from the beveled edges, wrap the lower ends inwards and then sew or glue them, while the upper ends remain free.
Glue round ones along the upper edge of the big triangle, and large pieces of mosaics along the beveled edges. Lay the ends of the strips of leather around the edges inwards and sew or glue them. Glue square pieces of mosaic onto the stripes.
