Anywhere know where to get these? I have some DIY stuff on my mind and can't remember if I saw them online or what. Also anyone know the origin of these?

Re: Mirror Metal Discs?
Thu, October 1, 2009 - 10:12 AMAre you referring to shisha mirrors surrounded by a tin frame?
If so, I have some: www.silkroadtribal.com/Tin-fr...84.html
They are from Rajasthan, India.

Wed, December 2, 2009 - 1:25 PMThe links above are great for authentic mirrors. If you're trying to go cheap and are willing to really go DIY on your mirrors, you can buy pailette sequins (sold in packages of a hundred or something like that for a couple bucks at any craft store, in any color of the rainbow) and then sew them on yourself. This is what I plan on doing, heaven help me. :-)
Instructions on shisha embroidery using the sequins, if you're interested.

Thu, December 3, 2009 - 7:58 AMThanks for the tip, I love the idea of colored mirrors so sequins sound neat. But i have terrible vision so sewing something that tiny wouldn't work for me =( However I did find the tin framed mirrors and they were only like 50 cents a piece. Now I just have to find time to sew them to my belt. Good luck on your shisha adventure! -

Thu, December 3, 2009 - 9:53 AMTiny? Aren't pailettes about the same size as small-to-medium shisha mirrors? The ones I bought, anyway, were at least 2/3 of an inch from side to side, perhaps a bit bigger. -

Thu, December 3, 2009 - 9:53 AMAnd also, I keep misspelling it -- they're "paillettes," with two "L"s and two "T"s. -
