How To Turn An Old Window Frame Into A Mirror

Nothing says shabby chic quite like repurposing an old window frame into a mirror. It's a great way to add some character and personality to your home while also giving an old piece of wood a new lease on life. Plus, it's a relatively easy project that can be completed in a few hours.

Here's what you'll need:

An old window frame
A piece of mirror glass cut to fit the frame
Wood glue
Clamps
A screwdriver
A hammer
Nails
Paint or stain (optional)

Instructions:

Remove the glass from the window frame. If the glass is old and brittle, be careful not to break it. You may need to use a putty knife to loosen the glass from the frame.
Clean the window frame thoroughly. Remove any dirt, dust, or debris.
Apply a thin layer of wood glue to the inside of the window frame. Be sure to spread the glue evenly.
Place the mirror glass in the window frame. Center the glass and press it firmly into the glue.
Clamp the window frame together. Use as many clamps as necessary to ensure that the frame is held together tightly.
Allow the glue to dry completely. This may take several hours or overnight.
Once the glue is dry, remove the clamps. If desired, you can now paint or stain the window frame to match your décor.
Hang the mirror on the wall. You can use nails, screws, or wire to hang the mirror. Be sure to use the appropriate hardware for the weight of the mirror.

That's it! You've now successfully turned an old window frame into a mirror. Enjoy your new piece of décor!
