How To Make A Three Way Mirror

A three way mirror is a great addition to any bedroom or dressing room. It allows you to see yourself from all angles, which can be helpful when getting dressed or doing your makeup. Three way mirrors are also great for taking full-length photos.

Making a three way mirror is a relatively simple project that can be completed in a few hours. The materials you will need include:

Three mirrors, each measuring at least 18 inches by 24 inches
A piece of plywood or MDF, measuring at least 24 inches by 36 inches
Wood glue
Clamps
A brad nailer or hammer and nails
Wood filler
Sandpaper
Paint or stain (optional)

Once you have gathered your materials, you can begin assembling the three way mirror.

Start by attaching the three mirrors to the piece of plywood or MDF. Apply a generous amount of wood glue to the back of each mirror, then clamp it in place. Allow the glue to dry completely.
Once the glue has dried, reinforce the joints with brad nails or hammer and nails. Countersink the nails slightly below the surface of the wood.
Fill the nail holes with wood filler, then sand the surface smooth. If desired, you can paint or stain the three way mirror to match your décor.

Your three way mirror is now complete! Enjoy using it to get dressed, do your makeup, or take full-length photos.

Tips

For a more polished look, use beveled mirrors. This will create a slight angle between the mirrors, making it easier to see yourself from all angles.
If you are using a brad nailer, be sure to use nails that are long enough to penetrate through the plywood or MDF and into the mirrors.
Be sure to allow the glue to dry completely before using the three way mirror. This will ensure that the mirrors are securely attached.
