Picture Frame Coffee Table

THE BASE

Start with a base, it can be your existing coffee table or you could go onto Craig’s List. If you have a glass coffee table that is fine, just take glass or mirror off to use the base. Wood or metal tables are perfectly fine as well.

For Glass: 

Go to your local hardware store, have them cut you a piece of plywood or MDF

Screw down the Plywood or MDF to the base of your table with the existing screws from your table. You do not have to do this step for wood or metal tables. 

FRAME CONFIGURATION

This step can be the longest step of this project. Laying all the frames down, moving them around to give you the look that you desire. You want to make sure that you do not have any gaps. You want your 

Play around with it, take pictures to make sure that you like the arrangement of the frames.

Once you have the desired arrangement, take a picture of it.

Write down the sizes of each of the frames, Go to your local hardware store to have them cut the mirror to the desired size of each frame.

Adding foam board is a great way to add more durability to the mirror. You can get foam board from your local art supply store. Cut foam board to the size of the frame. Take out back of the frame and add the foam board behind the mirror, lock it in.

When gluing the frames to the table, start from the center. By doing this, will give you a good starting point for the other frames. I like to use Liquid Nails (Heavy Duty) for my adhesive. Make sure to let your table dry for a day or two to make sure that it is stable. 

Here is how the gorgeous table came out!
