This Is How......

I put my mirror together.

First I decided to do it as inexpensively as possible 

so I found a nasty scrap of "backer board"

I measured to get the center of the board.

The mirrors I bought at The Dollar Store

and I chose 12. I had to take the little "feet"

off the back of the mirrors before gluing!

Next, I used glue to adhere the mirrors

Taped them in place to make sure they did not move

when I weighted them.

 and weighted it overnight to allow it to dry.

Next I painted around the boards that would be my

frame and the glued mirrors just in case

there could be a gap or two.

 

I then cut the boards to length and glued them also

to the board surrounding the mirrors.

Again, I weighted them to make sure they dried

without warping, about 3 days.

After drying, I (well, my hubby did since he was down there with me)

put screws through the back and put hangers on it.

Then touched up the paint and it now

hangs on my wall, and I will have to find another place

for it soon, as we are planning on putting

built in cabinets and shelving around the

fireplace and there will not

be room for my mirror on the wall it now

decorates....hmmmmm, more design

decisions to be made, SWEEETT!
