How To Frame An Old Bathroom Mirror

An old bathroom mirror can be a beautiful and unique addition to your home décor. With a little bit of effort, you can easily frame an old bathroom mirror and give it a new lease on life.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you begin, you will need to gather the following materials:

An old bathroom mirror
A picture frame that is slightly larger than the mirror
Wood glue
Clamps
Sandpaper
Paint or stain (optional)

Step 2: Prepare the Frame

If the picture frame is not already the desired color, you can paint or stain it now. Be sure to let the paint or stain dry completely before proceeding.

Step 3: Apply Wood Glue to the Frame

Apply a thin layer of wood glue to the inside edges of the picture frame. Be sure to spread the glue evenly.

Step 4: Attach the Mirror to the Frame

Carefully place the mirror inside the picture frame. Be sure to center the mirror and press it firmly into the glue.

Step 5: Clamp the Frame

Use clamps to hold the frame and mirror together. Be sure to clamp the frame tightly so that the glue can properly bond.

Step 6: Allow the Glue to Dry

Allow the glue to dry completely before removing the clamps. This may take several hours or overnight.

Step 7: Sand the Frame (Optional)

Once the glue is dry, you can sand the frame to smooth out any rough edges. Be sure to use a fine-grit sandpaper so that you do not damage the finish of the frame.

Step 8: Hang the Framed Mirror

Once you are satisfied with the look of the framed mirror, you can hang it on the wall. Be sure to use sturdy hardware that is appropriate for the weight of the mirror.
