Hello, everyone! Hope you are all doing well! My last DIY Sunburst Mirror led me subconsciously to another brilliant project with mirror. This time, I renovate the frame of a tall mirror with a glass mosaic tile.
All started with this photo in Pinterest that I found when I was searching examples of sunburst mirrors. Then, I remembered two glass mosaic tiles we had bought in order to decorate our fireplace, but later we changed our minds and didn't use them. It was the kind of a purchase that you return to your home only to discover your mistake and say: "OK! It's very beautiful but still useless"...

Two years have passed in order to find these tiles their purpose and change a simple 15 mirror to a stunning piece for my home office. The tiles were also bought with a discount that didn't cost us more than 10. As for the glue, you can use a specific glue for tiles, or use your precious hot glue with your silicone gun.

You will need:

a wooden framed mirror

one or two glass mosaic tiles

hot glue

scissors

1st step. Measure the width of the frame and decide how you will cut mosaic tiles.

2nd step. Cut the tiles in the desirable width.

3rd step. Put the glue on the back side of the tiles and then apply them on the frame. Wait in order to glue well and then hang your brand new mirror in your favourite spot!

So easily and affordably a brand new decorative frame for your old mirror!!!

Hope you find it pretty!!! And, wish you all a beautiful Monday and a creative week ... xo xo!!!! Jo_

thank you Shirley, do you think I can glue the tile directly on the glass?

Do you think it's possible to glue onto glass? The mirror I have has no frame, in fact it is arch shaped so there will be a curve factor??? Thx!
