VBS Craft Help!

This may sound silly, but it was the first thing I thought of when I read your question.... what if you contacted the manufacturer of one of the shower mirrors (that men use to shave with), that is a non-breakable mirror and about the size you are looking for... maybe they would cut you a deal (you need so many) and send you some (prior to making them into the shower caddy mirror). Just a thought~K.

Mirrored mylar comes in a roll. Check with Gail at Through the Keyhole (miniatures shop) at Preston and Forest. She should be able to order it for you.

You might try these and add your own backing.

L., depending on what quality of mirror you want, you could use foil or any thing shiny that would give a reflection. Could you make your own mirror by putting black backing on clear plastic, just a thought, I haven't tried it. Hopefully you will get some useful ideas. Where are you located, I would consider helping you get crafts together, if you are near by. I have done many summers of VBS and would like to help.

Do they have to be able to see good with the mirrors?? Or is it just the idea of a mirror? I wonder if tin foil would work. Just an idea

try www.ustoy.com in plano off of independence and parker
an amazing store tons of great party favors/toys and trinkets Try also hobby lobby joanns

If you would google unbreakable mirrors you will find sources.

Have you chcked with hobby lobby? I think they have what you're looking for.

I like the tin-foil idea. YOu could even layer the tinfoil underneath a piece of plexiglass to keep the tinfoil flat, but that might increase your costs.

Another idea: check out dollar stores. Sometimes they have hidden finds.

You could use the mirrored wrapping paper stuff. That would definitely be the cheapest route. And you could just cut pieces to the size that you need and mount then on whatever you are using to make the decorative surrounding. You could find the wrapping paper at somewhere like Party City, Wally's Party Supply, or maybe Halmark.
