Pocket Mirror From a Hard Drive Platter

Recently I disassembled an old hard drive to  get the magnets for another project.
(Turned out there was only one magnet in it so I guess I'll have to dismantle some more) 
I thought: "There must be a use for all that pretty stuff I got out of this thing."
And there is! 

Upcycle an old hard drive by turning those shiny pretty platters into useful pretty pocket mirrors.

It would make a nice gift for (girl)friends or moms or anyone who uses mirrors.

You need:

fabric
platter
a nice button to cover up the hole
snaps (2)
needle and thread to sew the snaps on
double sided sticky tape ( i love that stuff, you can do everything with it!)
glue

You can knit or crochet the cover.
 I can't knit so I crocheted.
 Other kinds of fabric might work also, I think. If you do that, please tell me how it went.

width: a little more than the diameter of the platter
length: a little more than twice the diameter

Put the double sided sticky tape on one side of the mirror and stick it to the cover.
I wasn't sure how well it would stick. I worried it might fall off, but I have been carrying it around in my handbag for some time now and nothing happened.

There is a hole in the middle that doesn't look nice. We will to do something about that later.

Take needle and thread ans sew the snaps to the corners

Glue the button on to hide the hole.
You could also sew it on.

I used super-glue, worked great!

Have fun using (or gifting) your new mirror!

One might think that the button in the middle would be in the way when you look into the mirror.
But I have used it many times now and it never bothered me.

What do you think of this? Please leave a comment and tell me.
Made one? Please show me :-)
