How To Trim A Mirror With Wood

Mirrors are a great way to add light and space to any room, and they can also be a beautiful decorative element. But if you're not happy with the size or shape of your mirror, you can trim it down to size with a few simple tools.

Trimming a mirror is a relatively easy project that can be completed in a few hours. However, it's important to follow the instructions carefully to avoid damaging the mirror. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to trim a mirror with wood:

Materials:

Mirror
Wood trim
Measuring tape
Pencil
Miter saw
Wood glue
Clamps
Brad nails
Hammer

Instructions:

Measure the mirror and cut the wood trim to size using a miter saw. Make sure to cut the trim at a 45-degree angle so that the pieces will fit together snugly.
Apply a thin layer of wood glue to the back of the trim pieces and press them into place around the mirror. Use clamps to hold the trim in place while the glue dries.
Once the glue has dried, use brad nails to secure the trim to the mirror. Drive the nails into the trim at an angle so that they don't go through the mirror.
Fill any nail holes with wood filler and allow it to dry. Sand the filled holes smooth and touch up the paint or stain as needed.

That's it! You've now successfully trimmed a mirror with wood. Enjoy your new, custom-sized mirror!
