How Do You Frame A Bathroom Mirror

Framing a bathroom mirror can be a great way to add your own personal touch to your bathroom and make it more stylish. It is also an easy DIY (do-it-yourself) project that can be completed in a few hours.

To get started, you will need to gather a few materials:

A mirror

A frame

Wood glue

Clamps

A saw (if necessary)

A hammer

Nails

Once you have all of your materials, you can begin the framing process.

Step 1: Measure and Cut the Frame

The first step is to measure and cut the frame to the correct size. If the frame is too large, it will not fit around the mirror. If the frame is too small, it will not cover the edges of the mirror. To measure the frame, use a tape measure to determine the length and width of the mirror. Add 2 inches to each measurement to allow for the overlap of the frame. For example, if the mirror is 24 inches long and 18 inches wide, you would cut the frame to 26 inches long and 20 inches wide.

Step 2: Apply Wood Glue to the Frame

Once the frame is cut to size, apply a thin layer of wood glue to the inside edges of the frame. This will help to hold the frame together.

Step 3: Assemble the Frame

Place the mirror inside the frame and align the edges of the mirror with the edges of the frame. Use the clamps to hold the frame together while the glue dries. Allow the glue to dry for at least 30 minutes before proceeding to the next step.

Step 4: Reinforce the Frame

Once the glue has dried, you can reinforce the frame by adding nails. This will help to keep the frame from coming apart.

To add nails, use a hammer to drive nails through the frame and into the mirror. Space the nails evenly around the frame. Once the nails are in place, your framed bathroom mirror is complete. You can now hang it on the wall and enjoy your new addition.
