How To Make A Frame For My Bathroom Mirror

How to DIY a Custom Frame for Your Bathroom Mirror

A bathroom mirror is an essential part of any bathroom, but it can also be a great way to add style to the room. A custom-framed mirror can be a beautiful and unique addition to your bathroom, and it's surprisingly easy to make yourself. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make a frame for your bathroom mirror:

Materials You'll Need:

Mirror
Picture frame molding
Miter saw
Wood glue
Clamps
Finish nails
Hammer or nail gun
Paint or stain (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Measure and Cut the Frame Molding

Measure the outside perimeter of the mirror and add 2 inches to the length and width. This will give you the total length of molding you need for the frame. Cut the molding to length using a miter saw, making sure to cut the corners at a 45-degree angle.

Step 2: Assemble the Frame

Apply a thin bead of wood glue to one edge of each mitered corner and assemble the frame. Use clamps to hold the frame together while the glue dries.

Step 3: Reinforce the Frame

Once the frame is assembled, reinforce it by driving finish nails through the corners. Countersink the nails slightly below the surface of the wood.

Step 4: Paint or Stain the Frame (Optional)

If desired, you can paint or stain the frame to match your bathroom decor. Allow the paint or stain to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
