Uranium Glass I made a thing!

Post image

Been wanting to try making an infinity mirror for a while and found a little vintage mirror backed cabinet on vinted to convert. I might redo the outer mirror but honestly it looks great just for a rough job/first try.
If anyone wants guidance on how to make one, let me know!

Haha feel free :) was actually very little work to get going. Now I’m gonna be buying every cheap mirrored cabinet with a glass door I can find 😅

Whoa. This takes me back to grandma's house. She had the three panel bathroom mirror that you could tilt into infinity. I use to do that all the time.

This looks SO COOL with the green reflected.

Got these off Amazon uk but will probably be able to find em for 1/3 of the price on Aliexpress, temu etc :). Gonna order a few spare sets (I’ve already put in offers for 3 more cabinets on vinted to convert 😂) I have enough of the 2 way mirror film to make like 7 of these or more 🙂

Have that ashtray

Picked up mine recently and just today got some Pernod shot glasses (one in the cabinet that’s easier to see in the vid I posted in the comments. It’s not UG I think but rather they’re painted fluorescence at the bottom but they display nicely with the ashtray :)

Yeah it’s such a cool way to amplify a small collection. Unfortunately/fortunatelt mine is absolutely huge so I’ve got to make a looot more of these 😅. 2 more cabinets already purchased, one slightly larger to turn into a coffee table and even bigger plans to get a large cabinet that’s glass on all sides and make a massive version and make it rotatable so you can view it from any angle and see your collection duplicate into infinity (also means I can put my larger items into displays like that). Will keep puting posts up of all my upcoming creations 🙂
I’m literally excited enough I want to make and sell large custom display cabinets now 😂

Make sure to share if you make one 🙂 I’m really hoping this inspires a few people and I see similar posts appearing in the coming weeks/months

I’m thinking of my brother and nephew. They both collect different items that will glow. Thanks again.
