Most of us have them and very few of us do anything to them! If you’re tired of looking at your old, boring, frame-less mirror consider sprucing it up yourself before purchasing a new one.
You ask, what’s the easy solution? – no miter saw cuts!…those 45 degree angle cuts can be tricky if you haven’t mastered it yet. It also makes all the difference for a frustrating-free project…ahhh!
First step: Measure your mirror! You need to figure out what size to cut your moldings. Don’t forget to take into consideration the four corners blocks will take up 3 inches of your total length in each corner.
Step 2: Paint & decorate your molding as you like.
Step 3: Put it all together! You may need a helping hand for this part. Use your glue and begin by placing one of your corners on first.
Make sure you hold in place for a minute or two to ensure it dries in proper position. Next glue on the molding.
Step 4: When your top piece of molding if finally in place and everything is glued, secure with painter’s tape. Let it dry for the reminder of the day!
