Questions & AnswersROBYN LYMAN: Hi, this is Robyn with Expert Village. We're getting ready to assemble our mirror, but first we need to cut off some of this hologram paper. I also have another circle cutter that works really great for this. It's a lot faster and it's designed just to make circles. Usually, when I have a piece of paper here, I'll go ahead and cut two or three other ones just so I have them on hand for my next project. And then just pull them off and we got them ready to go. One thing I like about this button press, I got it from my cousin's wife. She was into making buttons and people are saying, "Well, you ought to make your drawings into stickers." And then someone said, "Well, you ought to make them into mirrors." So I've made a variety of mirrors. I have several kinds. I make--you can go to my Web site, manyhearts.com, where you can see all the different buttons and mirrors I have. But the transparency now we've got to cut out with this. We can look at that. I can't see if you can see it shimmer but I have several different types of transparencies. One of them is--one that has a little bit thicker glitter on it, one that has some stars. They all make a difference on how this thing looks. I've got one here that's in gold, gives it a whole different look. So the whole thing depends on what you like and what you want to put on it. I have one other one in here that has thicker silver circles that you can put on. It works great but whatever you decide you want to use it for.
