How to make a disco ball bra

You know, just in case you find yourself with a bra, some mirror tiles and a spare afternoon. You never know.

Take one bra, any size, moulded cups are way better for this job, but I didn’t work that out til too late did I??

If it is already pink, then woo hoo, if not, may I recommend Dylon Flamingo Pink fabric dye. Stick this in a bowl with your bra, swish it around a bit (or follow the instructions on the packet) and rinse and spin it a few times. Then hang it up to dry, but nowhere where you don’t want pink dye splots. Like for example, the slabs under your washing line. Just saying.

When it’s dry, spread yourself out over a table. Get some epoxy glue, some 1cmX1cm mirror tiles and, if you’re not using moulded cups, something to put underneath, like rolled up socks, or flask lids.

Put a bit of glue on a few tiles and start sticking. This stuff takes about 10 minutes before it’s unusable, so don’t throw it all out at once. Do it in bits, mix it, apply it to tile, stick tile down.

Although it only takes 10 mins to dry, the tiles can still fall off for another 20mins so try not to move it around too much. Do a section, leave it to dry for an hour, do another section.

Leave it all overnight and then give it a good shake, because some tiles will fall off, and better for them to fall off now than whilst you are wearing it. Stick them back on, leave them all to dry for a bit longer.

And bob’s your uncle. A disco ball bra.

I'm going to take a few spare tiles with me on the walk and put double sided sticky tape on the back, just in case.

Of course, thehot pink belly dancing scarf, pink 80’s style fishnet gloves, hot pink moonwalk cap, glo-stick bracelets and pink feather boa are all optional accessories.
