    It's glass, you don't.

    I don't think you can. You might be able re-use a smaller piece if it has sentimental value. Any glass cutter in your area would be able to shape and sand the edges so you can make a new frame for it or have one done by a professional.

    I can't see it looking the same, after a repair. If this is a mirror, hand held, or antique take it to a glass place like Safelite or an antique shop. Good Luck.

    Sadly, you cannot. If the crack is in a corner - what I did was decorate the outside edge covering where the crack is. I used floral's (I am old school, lol) but you could use sea shells (popular right now) or anything you collect. Hope you can salvage your mirror. Mine had been my mothers and was large and gorgeous until the "accident" and I was not going to pitch it. You might also take it to a mirror store and they could cut it into several smaller pieces - they can bevel the edge for you as well and then use them as mirror reflectors for candles or frame then and you can accent mirrors. Good luck.

    What you can also do, is use the crack as "decor" you can paint around the crack and turn it into an interesting design in order to salvage the mirror

    GO to Hobby Lobby or Walmart flower section & get some LIQUID GLASS. Mix it up & put it into the crack itself, not the sides around it. You will havta use a toothpick or something tiny like that to get it into the crack. Let it sit flat overnight to harden & cure & you're done. It works on mirrors & any glass objects. Color it with gel food coloring & you could also use it for touching up ceramic pieces that have chipped or cracked. :)

    My crack was on a tray. I laid a pretty rhinestone necklace over it ,with perfume bottles ,,it looks fine.So,maybe those strings of rhinestone could be glued on in several place to look more like art piece. Or maybe washi tape in more then one place to make it look intentional.object is to put in more then one place so no one can see crack.hope it helps
