Saw this article on Wiki yesterday, and it gave me an idea. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_of_MirrorsI suspect you could create an awesome effect for a grand hall by getting 12"x12" mirrored tiles at your friendly local hardware store, and cut/snap them into 1"x3" strips and gluing them vertically (or possibly stuffing them into those 1" plastic bases), and just lining the whole room with them. (My apologies if someone mentioned something like this before, I've been busy and I'm like two months behind on the forum)

Good to have you back. I made some mirrors by bending foil tape over cardstock. I used them for a puzzle. The puzzle was a bit confusing for my players so I have never done a vid on it. The mirrors were cool but the foil tape can be a bit tricky to work with.

I don't know what craft stores are in your area, but I know hobby lobby sells 28mm/1" mirrors in squares, & circles (they may have had more shapes though I can't of remember off the top of my head) no cutting required hehe ... or if you're going for a funhouse mirror effect try gluing aluminum/tin foil to a thin, bendy plastic strip (like from a mini's blister pack) or card stock like DMScotty said then bend to shape & a little hot glue at the folds to hold the shape. Standing on it's own is another story either base it or make it so the bend on the bottom has the hot glue to make it freestanding, or make some sort of frame work out of toothpicks & scrap wood or those pre-shaped woodsies DMScotty mentions a lot which would be cool for a funhouse mirror or a regular victorian style floor mirror build too hmmm .... (Guess what I've decided to make next) anyway if there's no hobby lobby near you, I'd assume Michael's, or Jo-Ann's would carry them as well or at least a facsimile being that they are craft stores too

Just thought of another way you could go cheap & guerrilla style just use a thicker folded up & scaled piece of aluminum foil alone it should be strong enough to stand on it's own though an accidental whack by a player or a slight breeze would probably wreak them quick you'll just have to bend them back up & for free house household materials turned into props in minutes it wouldn't be so bad so I guess it comes down to time v.s. patients &/or quality v.s. quantity

Check out Ben's RPG pile for a mirror but using Hurst arts stuff which I can't afford but maybe you could DM. Scotty it. That's like MCgyver it you know.
