[@Timothy_Million]

To be honest, I don't think it's a great idea to buy a mirror for over$ 20 unless it's indestructible and/or can't be fogged, either way 80 is better than 3500, at least in terms of prices *you* have to pay. What I'm trying to say is you're right and ain't a lie in sight.

[@trieule7158]

That’s 80 dollars not counting the mirror… pray we can get lucky that our neighbor would throw an unbroken mirror sometime in our life.

So if you meant that there wasn't "any issue" legally, you were mistaken there. It's unlawful infringement of copyright amongst other issues.

She's profiting from ripping off their work by using it to create this content. Shes making money off jacking other people's work. It's exploitative & unethical. She could have taken inspiration from their design and come up with something original & actually creative, but no she just ripped them off & deliberately created a guide for others to do the same. Really low behaviour that you're excusing.

For the rainbow one, you could do sections of colour fabric so it looks like a rainbow striped candy around. Or for an actual rainbow you'd need a big mirror than this to do multiple coloured arches. Hope everything works out!

@@hailsaep13, she made an imitation of someone else's exact design. Everything was copied(to an inferior standard). Someone not wanting to pay what an item costs isn't grounds to rip off a design & actual designer. Just because it happens all the time doesn't make it legal or ethical. I'm not clear on why you think her signposting the original makes it okay? It's kind of like giving someone directions to the store you shoplifted from & then saying that makes it not stealing.

Definitely DIY it because because for $80. You got a $3500 mirror with the the fun of building it. Yourself, it looks awesome. It is so beautiful and if you wanna do another one I would Totally buy from you.❤❤❤

[@AnInterestingNameIndeed]

In my opinion I think that it really depends on who you are for the “Buy it or DIY it?” If you have the money and probably don’t have a lot of free time to do this kinda of thing then yeah, maybe you should buy it. But if you are going for a less expensive approach and you have the spare time then I think you should DIY it. It also depends on other things of course but i think the main thing is price vs time

[@hawthorn99]

I think you should include your total hours of labor into the cost as well. The time it takes is worth something to. Especially if someone has like kids and a job. The hours will tell them if it's worth it to them or not. Like I love the lamp you did it seemed pretty simple. But this mirror might take somebody a really long time and they might feel really defeated if it takes them a long time. So including the time might give more motivation or let them plan for the craft.

[@aminahhamza7865]

If you have time you have time .. if you don't have time then you have money to buy it for yourself.. if you don't then you create time to make one for yourself.. it's life and life has to do with compromise!!! So compromise time or money.. it's your call!

[@hawthorn99]

@@aminahhamza7865 that was an entitled comment on your end. You think just because people work a lot and don't have a lot of time for things that it means they have money to buy what they want? That's naive. Also saying life is a compromise is an understatement. And just because life is full of compromises doesn't mean you aren't allowed to ask about the compromise you're making.(in fact people that make compromises usually agree on those compromises....which means they already know the circumstances) I asked for the rough time frame. I have heavy responsibilities outside of crafts. Just because I asked doesn't mean I'll get an answer but it doesn't mean I can't ask. Thanks
