Cutting the Background for a Button Design

ROBYN LYMAN: Hi, this is Robyn again with Expert Village. Now we're getting into the stage where we can assemble this and make it into a mirror. One of the first things I like to do is take my glue gun and plug it in because it takes a minute or so for it to warm up, and then we'll have it. There's different ways to assemble mirrors. Now you can put a shim behind the mirror to keep the pressure on it so it doesn't rattle. I prefer to hot glue my mirror right to the shell. In that way, if it drops, it doesn't shatter, very seldom it even breaks. First thing we're going to do is cut our transparency out in a circle. Now I have a circle cutter. You can adjust it to different angles. It's a great little cutter. It works good for cutting out paper, plastic, just about anything. You can get this online at the--just Google. Go to Google and hit paper cutter and you'll come up with all kinds of them. Friskers have them, just about every kind of it. There's my nice little circle all cut and ready to go now into the press. Next stage, we're going to use--you see, a lot of people collect things. I collect wrapping paper, especially hologram wrapping paper because that's the kind of paper I use to give it a dimension. So I'm going to put this on here, get ready to cut it up. In the next stage, I'll show you how this assembles.
