Mirror mirror on the wall....

Pi*saso

..........oh I need one pretty damned small.

Howdy people, first post here (please let me know if there's a more suitable thread).

Anyway, to the point. I'm trying to find a small square/rectangular mirror of around 5" by 7" size. I was pounding the streets yesterday and wasted hours looking without any luck.

So, here I am, does anyone have any suggestions as to where I could purchase such an item. I basically need it for art class and of course home study.

Even a mirror tile would probably do.

Thanks in advance.

Any of the DIY sheds ( Homebase, B&Q, etc. ) should have mirror tiles. Failing that, find a local glazier, they'll be able to supply you a mirror cut to any size you want. And if you want to fix it to the wall, ask them to drill holes in it for you. I've done this a few times over the years when I've wanted an odd-sized mirror for a particular spot.

Not sure how quickly you need it or how cheaply, but several companies on ebay sell mirror tiles in all sorts of sizes including 5" x 7"

Example (but may be cheaper ones with quicker delivery):

ikea are a good bet

Tried your local freecycle?

Hi. Thanks, keep them coming.

I tried only the high street yesterday, so perhaps checking out where the nearest DIY stores are might be the best way to go.

That website looks okay, but yeah, £10 postage is too much for just 1 mirror tile.

Sorry, I realised that too and have edited it to a cheaper option now

Do any of the cheap homeware shops have those small plastic backed shaving mirrors - they'd be around the right size.
