Frame-less bathroom mirrors is boring!, so I have been wanting to frame my bathroom mirrors since, well, forever. It seems easy to do, however, there was one problem. My mirrors are attached with those pesky, little metal clips.
Since I was unable to find a tutorial that dealt with those pesky little buggers, I was left to my own and came up with a way. So if you’ve been yearning to frame your clipped on bathroom mirrors, read on!
HERE’S HOW TO FRAME A CLIPPED-ON BATHROOM MIRROR IN 5 EASY STEPS:
First You need to be ready with the tool:
- wood trim (I used baseboard trim)
- miter saw
- utility knife
- small chisel
- paint or stain
- Liquid Nails adhesive
- measuring tape
- painter’s tape
STEP ONE
Measure the outside dimensions of the mirror.
STEP TWO
Cut the wood to the dimensions measured at a 45 degree angle
STEP THREE
Place the piece of wood against the mirror and mark the location of the clips with a pen or pencil. Using a utility knife, carefully make slices into the wood between the marks. You can use a small chisel to make a small recess into the wood.
STEP FOUR
Paint or stain the frame pieces, being sure to paint or stain the back of the wood, too. (You’ll be able to see the reflection of the back of the frame so it needs to look good too. I used the same Modern Masters metallic paint that I used on my interior doors.
STEP FIVE
Apply Liquid Nails adhesive to the back of the frame pieces, then place the frame pieces in place on the mirror.
To keep the frame in place while the adhesive is drying, use strips of painter’s tape.
Since there is space between my mirror and sink, I wedged some scrap pieces of wood in that space to keep the frame from slipping while the adhesive dried.
There you go, the step by step on HOW TO FRAME A CLIPPED-ON BATHROOM MIRROR IN 5 EASY STEPS
