Default Looking for a hinged mirror

Can anyone tell me where you can find those hinged mirrors? The ones you can set on fabric to get an idea of how a OBW will look. Thanks!

Have you thought about buying 2 mirrors at a discount store and using tape to make the hinge?

I bought 2 square mirror tiles for going under candles at the $store. I put a duct tape hinge on the back. They work fine.

I bought a cheap one and it's only two mirror surfaces, not real mirrors taped with black duct tape for a hinge. I've seen better quality ones at the quilt shops. I don't use it enough to buy or make another.

I bought two square powder compacts at the $1 store, took out the mirrors and taped them together. They are small enough that they fit into one of the leather coin purse projects that the kid's had made at Boy Scouts years ago. I carry it in my purse, doesn't take up much room. Great when fabric shopping to see what multiple fussy cuts will look like.
