What to do with a piece of mirror
-
Valerie on Aug 25, 2014I assume that it is flat - if so, using it to make a mosaic would be a great idea. There are plenty of inspiring examples on Hometalk. Another possibility would be to use it on a table or dressing table. I would make inquiries as to whether or not you could have it cut to size at your local glass shop. I would also think of hanging it in the garden - it will give the illusion that the garden is a lot larger than it actually is.Helpful Reply

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Aug 26, 2014You need to be careful when cutting older glass. As it ages it becomes more brittle and can easily shatter when trying to cut it. Use care if you decide to attempt that. Make sure your using a good lubricant with the glass cutter. Ideally Kerosene works best. A small brush with it on it run along the glass where your cutting along with dipping the cutter in the solution will keep the cut cool and make for a much better cut.Helpful Reply

Marge on Aug 26, 2014I have seen a mirror used as a frozen lake in a winter scene. Could put Christmas trees on its perimeter, etc. Do heed the safety warnings above. If you are able to cut it, you could frame the pieces and then put up many arranging them on the wall.Helpful Reply
