Thin mirrors question
My wife needs several mirrors of different sizes. Does anybody know of a source for these ?? Looking for the 2 mm thin size, min. of 5" x 7".
She has checked Michaels, Wal-Mart etc and has not found anything. Michaels has them, but they all have bevels on them.
TIA

How about a glass/mirror shop? They might cut some for her.

Krista,
Thanks !! I guess I should have added that I have checked glass & mirror businesses and they all have the 1/4" plate glass mirror stock. She needs the thin, 1/8" or less.
I have a lead on a supplier, but will have to order a 2' x 4' piece cut into smaller sizes.

Look at Lowes or Walmart for the cheap wall tiles and cut them yourself.

KALEIDOSCOPE MIRROR IS CALLED FRONT SURFACE MIRROR - IS 1/16" THICK AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE.
Opps, excuse the caps - at work that's all I use.
A stained glass suppy store will also have regular mirror - 1/8" thick and much cheaper - easy to cut. It's typically used for the bottoms of stained glass boxes and such.
