Making Wooden Mirrors

Mirrors are so versatile; they can be used as decorations and also as tools to use. All homes contain one or two mirrors in the bathroom and also in the bedroom. Since these unnoticeable tools make such great impact, why not create good and lasting images.

You can buy mirrors from the various stores. However, there is nothing as fulfilling as making your own reclaimed wooden mirrors. These mirrors create a classy and elegant look in your home.
Things To Consider
Before you can begin the process of making your own wooden mirrors, there are few factors that you need to consider.
  • Consider The Type Of Wood
Yes, you will be making reclaimed wood frames. However, the type of wood you choose is of great importance. You may choose to use the recycled wood. When it comes to these recycled woods, you need to check the condition of the wood. This is because that treated wood cannot be recycled. You may also choose pallets or the weathered wood.
  • Size Of The Mirror
The size of the mirror will definitely influence the size of the frame. You also need to consider the location you will place the mirror. The best place that you can have these classy designs is the bathroom.
  • The Color
You may choose different colors to stain your wood. You may choose brown colored stain or the gray color. If you want a vintage look, you may choose the combination of brown and gray colors.

To make the reclaimed wood picture frame for your mirror, you will need to collect the required tools including the miter saw and the glue gun. Measure the mirror and then cut the pieces according to the required measurements. Stain the pieces and leave them to dry. You will then have to fix the wood together with hot glue. Take the mirror once the glue has dried off and mount it.
