Tools and Materials

• 1/2-inch-thick natural-fiber rope (from home-supply stores)
• Unframed 10-inch round mirror
• Cement glue
• Painters' tape

1. Measure and cut 2 segments of rope, one to fit around the mirror’s outer edge, the other to fit just inside the first.
2. Glue rope to mirror, lining up the ends for a neat seam.
3. Secure with painters' tape until dry.
4. Once dry, make a knotted hanger: Cut a 45-inch length of rope, and tie a knot on both ends (we used a variation on the figure-eight knot; see diagram).
5. Glue knotted ends of rope to sides of mirror; one knot should cover the seams. Secure with painters' tape until dry.
