tri-fold practice mirror
I broke my tri-fold practice mirror and am having a hard time finding a new one. Anyone have an idea of where to get a new one?

I bought mine in England from Alakazam. Maybe they sourced them in the States so you could try them.

I had my local hardware store cut my three pieces of mirror glass (I gave them the measurements, of course). I laid the pieces face-down on the table, allowed a small gap between them, and made a tri-fold mirror using "gaffer's" tape applied along the back of the hinge-point (duct tape would work just as well). You should apply narrow tape over the remaining exposed edges as they are sharp (black electrical tape works nicely for this).

Years ago at an estate sale in my neighborhood I found an antique tri-fold vanity mirror. It's metal hinged and frames. Sturdy. Perfect. Five bucks. I've tried looking online for something similar, but the ones I've found are either too small (6 inch mirror) or way too big (2 feet tall). Of course, I didn't search that hard because I've already got one. Just looking for a source.
So if you don't want to make one, try google.

I bought three mirror tiles from Home Depot and just used duct tape to put them together and it works great. If you want a wider view you can use four tiles. They fold up nicely and work great.
