ok this is nice! i want 2 use mirrors- broken mirrors for the side of a coffee table what do you recommend to glue mirrors to wood? and what kind of glue are u using? great job
@eLoveCR7 Hi there, to make this mirror I used PVA glue.
The best glue to use for mirror would be mirror mastic - it's a kind of silicon that you can buy at places where they sell glass & mirror, and sometimes at DIY stores.
The reason for this is that some glues may ruin the mirror backing, so that eventually it fades and ruins. I've used PVA for mirror too, and so far (after 10 years) the mirror is still fine...so it's your choice :)
@TheItaliana7 Thank you for your comment. I bought these tiles on the internet, from several different suppliers...I then cut them all. Some are marble, some smalti, some Sicis iridescent glass tiles, some Millefiori, some Carlton glass, some gold smalti.
@ColliCristina Thank you for response! But could you please give me the web-site where you did purchase the tiles... cuz I wanna get the same type for my project. And I wonder what is the white thing you painted the wooden frame in the very beginning? (looks like acrylic colors but I am not sure) and why did you paint it (what's the reason of it)? p.s. sorry for billion of questions.......

This is an awesome project. I love the color, shapes & the position of the tiles.
I like your sense of symmetry as well.
1- Where can I get this type of tile?
2- how do I order the right amount of tile for the area that I'm covering?
