- What This Idea Means: Four square beveled mirrors glued into a box shape provide a seamless reflective planter. The mirrored finish visually expands smaller dining tables while hiding floral stems cleanly.
- Materials Needed:
- 5 Dollar Tree square beveled locker mirrors (5×5 or 7×7 inches)
- Hot glue gun with high-temp adhesive sticks or clear silicone sealant
- Wet floral foam block (if using fresh stems) or dry floral foam
- Fresh or high-grade faux white hydrangea and blush rose stems
- Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Lay one mirror flat as the base (reflective side down so the interior reflects upward).
- Apply a bead of glue along one outer edge and position the second mirror vertically at a 90-degree angle.
- Glue the remaining three sides vertically to construct an open-topped mirrored cube.
- Reinforce internal corner seams with a bead of hot glue or clear silicone, letting it cure for 15 minutes.
- Insert floral foam cut to size inside the cube.
- Cut flower stems very short (around 3 inches) and insert tightly into the foam to create a dense, rounded dome of blooms spilling slightly over the mirrored edges.
- Pro-Tips & Creative Variations: Place a round mirrored charger underneath the box and arrange three small votive candles at its perimeter to double the reflective glow across the linen.
