Wearable Disco Ball Visor

I like disco balls, thought it would make a cool Hat. Ok what you need, a cheap Visor ( no matter what color ), then Cutable Flexible mirror, Sharp sisors, Hot glue gun ( low/multitemp ) with plenty glue stix. Fine sharpy perment marker, and about an hour to spare. I got all the stuff from my local Walmart.

Step 1 Gather Supplies

Ok First i got a cheap visor, any hat place. Then I went to Walmart, in the auto section I got a Cutable Flexible Mirror ( it's lighter than real mirror, and a lot safer ), then a Hot Glue Gun and Lots of Glue stix ( Use low/Muti temp so it don't melt Mirror ) then get sharp Sissors, Sharpy Marker, Ruler, and about an hour to put together.

I took the Mirror out the package, on the back I took my ruler and Marker and made a grid, One Visor I made a grid of 1/2 inch squares, and another i made 3/4 inch squares. The larger are easier to cut, and glue, but don't flex as much. The smaller squares are harder to cut, and glue, but keep the visor more flexible.

The first visor i made i used real glass mirror, problem was the visor got really heavy, and i kept cutting my hands taking it off. People kept trying to touch it and a couple got scratched. I then found flexible Mirror in the automotive section, its used for temporary side mirrors. Its plastic with mirror coating thats flexible i made a 3/4 inch grid i used scissors and cut the squares out. The Second visor i used a Large Paper cutter at my work.

Brilliant. I am so wearing this on Thursday to thie stoopid club. Where would one get "flexible mirror"?

In the Auto Section of Walmart or by the Side Mirror's in most Auto parts Store's. "Flexible Mirror" is a Temp Mirror for when you Break your side mirror. You would trace the side mirror opening Cut the Temp Mirror and Use double stick tape to hold in place, until you can find a Glass Mirror Replacement. All it realy is, is a plastic sheet with a highly reflective material on the back, Hope that helps.

Cool idea, I didn't know that there was sucha thing as a flexible mirror, now I do though. It looks like your hat came out great. Good job!

Thanx - The Flexible mirror is in the Auto section, its used for a temperary side mirror. In case u broke your mirror and couldnt find a glass mirror, you use the Cutable mirror to the size you need. Then Double stick tape it, until you can get a real Glass mirror. I used that stuff because its light, easy to cut, safe, and just as reflective.
