How to Design Framed Mirrors in Bathroom Accessories
Did you know that you could invent your own-framed mirrors? Instead of heading to
the store and purchasing pricey mirrors, you can use material around your home, or
purchase affordable products to design your own mirror. Need help:
How to invent your own mirror:

Designing your own mirrors is the start of creating a completely new bathroom. You
can use material around the home, such as photo frames. Try to choose an
embellishing prototype. The embellished frame will make a great wall mirror,
otherwise you can design tabletop mirrors, using it as a vanity. Vanities make nice
displays, especially when you surround it with your favorite items, including
perfumes and so on.
How do I choose textile?

Again, you will need a picture frame. You want a frame to fit the mirror. It
depends on the size you want to accomplish, otherwise try choosing mirror and
frames at with the amount of cm you need, which is around one-eighth-inch to a
quarter inches. You will need an additional three to six centimeters, which equals
around the same measurements.
How do I add a back?

You can use hardboard to add your backing. When choosing the board however, make
sure that you match the board to the weight of the mirror. Rather, make sure that
the cardboard will hold up the frame and mirror weight. Mirrors typically weigh
approximately seven hundred fifty-g depending on the dimension. In this instance,
you are making the quarter frame, so you will need to consider point zero/thirty
two squares per m. If your mirror weighs more than 3-pounds, you will need a board
to hold 1.6-kg per square foot. The thickness of the board then should be around
one eight-inches. The mirror will fit into your rabbet, which you can have the
glass cut at any glass shop, or mirror shop that specializes in glass products. If
you want to use fancy material, purchase hardboards of equal size.
Once you have your materials together, you will need to fit the mirror onto the
backing. The backing should slide into the groove cut, or wood joints. (Rabbet)
Once you have inserted the parts, you will need to nail your brads mildly to avoid
breaking your mirror, nailing it into the picture frame. If you intend to hang the
mirror on your wall, you will need hangers, which you want to pivot.
How to choose mounting materials:

You will need your mirror, frame, short screws, corner brace, craft paper (Brown),
dual-adhesive farmer tape, dust cover, hangers, a couple of mirror hangers, awl,
jigsaw, knife, and additional screws to mount your frame.
Now that you have a basic idea, you can start creating your mirror. In short, it
takes ten steps completely to create your framed mirror. To finish your mirror we
recommend that you visit your local library and check out books to direct you.
Otherwise, I will briefly walk you through the ten steps.
Your first step is to face your frame on the wrong side and secure your brace
corners, fastening it transversely to connect with the milter corners. With your
awl, create pilot holes in the back of your frame. Once you have created the holes,
insert the screws. If you have purchased hardboard, or using cardboard cut the
board so, that it matches the size or your mirror. Facedown, place the mirror
inside your wood joints. Now you can place your hardboard/cardboard inside the wood
joints and over your mirror. Brads should be inserted at this point, which should
measure at two points five-cm at the intervals of your corners.
Next, use your tape to adhesive the frame, layering the tape at the outer edges of
your frame and around three-mm. Do away with the paper cover. Now you are off to a
great start of completing your mirror. Use your brown construction paper and cut
five-cm, creating a strip extending a considerable distance than your picture
frame. Once you have your paper over the backboard, you want to secure it. Use your
construction tape. The last steps is to trim, mark, and measure to add your
hangers.
