$15 DIY Mirror



Shopping List:
2  - 1 x 4 @ 8ft White wood
Liquid Nails

Cutting List:
2  - 48" Long point to long point (ends are not parallel)
2  -17 1/4" Long point to long point (ends are not parallel)

Do you have a full length mirror with an ugly cheap frame? Build this frame & make the mirror instantly look expensive!  Rip off the paper backing & then take a box cutter along the edge of where the frame & mirror on the back. Don't bend it, you could break the mirror! Use wood glue & finishing nails, I used 1 1/4" nails, or you could use a staple gun on the back side. If you want to sand your wood do it before attaching the mirror. Next, attach the mirror to the frame with some liquid nails. Don't use too much or it will squish out onto your mirror! I used a Dark Walnut stain & then clear coat/poly to finish.
