I've had a couple of materials I wanted to use for a while and I happened to get a simple little round mirror as a gift, so I decided to get my creative juices flowing and get to work to create a nice decoration for this mirror. Here are the step by step instructions on how I did it.

π€A mirror (round, 14cm diameter)
π€A recyclable cardboard box lid
π€A couple of old CD`s
π€Half a sheet of paper
π€Black paint
π€Liquid silicone
π€Pencil
π€Scissors
π€A ruler

π€ π ππππ ππππ:
On the cardboard lid, using the ruler and a pencil, I marked a square of 16cm x 16cm so that it was two centimeters larger than the diameter of the mirror. I did this so that, when I put the mirror in the middle of the square, there would be one centimeter of margin on each side between the edge of the mirror and the edge of the cardboard.
I painted this square with black paint and glued the mirror on top of it. I also cut the corners of the square, making a circle shape to create a one centimeter frame on each side of the mirror.

The figure of the cat has to be almost the same size as the cardboard frame of the mirror, so that it is also part of this frame.
π€ππππππ ππππ:
For the second step I drew the figure of a cat of approximately 19cm x 8cm on half of a sheet of paper and then cut it out, except for the tail because there was not enough space to draw it. I used this already cut out silhouette as a mold to draw it on top of another piece of the cardboard cover I used in the previous step.
Once I drew and cut the figure on the cardboard I painted it black.

| this is the most important step and also the one that took me the longest time to do, although it was fun |  |
π€πππππ ππππ:
In this step I proceeded to chop a couple of CDs with the help of a scissors, I did not follow any pattern but I let myself go getting pieces of different shapes and sizes.
I took the cardboard cat figure I had made in the previous step and glued on top of it, using liquid silicone, the CD pieces, arranging them in such a way that all the empty spaces were filled but leaving a minimum separation between them to create a mosaic effect.
π€π πππππ (πππ ππππ) ππππ:
Since I had not made the shape of the cat's tail, here I had to improvise and with some of the cardboard that was left over I made the figure so that it bordered the mirror frame a little and fit with the cat figure I had made. This figure of the tail I also filled it with pieces of CD, these a little more carved to obtain the fluid form of the tail of a cat.

| here I modified the shape a bit, but I did not take pictures of it |
In the end I just glued the cat on top of the mirror and the tail next to it. To hang the mirror on the wall I glued a black ribbon on the back.
