Twist the base to secure it, then shape it like a leaf.

Attach these to the cork mat with a glue gun like flower petals, and glue the mirror to the back.

Finally, attach a looped cord so you can hang it on the wall, and you’re done.

Depending on how you shape the wire, you can create wall mirrors with a variety of looks.
