Frame Your Bathroom Mirror For Under $20

This project was quick, easy and inexpensive. Framing the old mirror made a huge difference. Here are the products and steps that I used to achieve this look. 

Supplies and Instructions: 

  • Decorative wood boards. I found prefinished decorative boards at Menards. They were only $5.00 a board. They measure 8 feet long by 4 inches wide and ¾ inch deep. They had 4-5 different finishes. The material is particle board and is sturdy and easy to cut. Get the right number of boards so that you can have 4 separate pieces for your mirror.  
  • I used a hand miter saw and box kit to cut 90-degree angles at the end of each piece of wood so that they would easily fit together. See the pictures.  
  • I purchased very inexpensive hardware to use at each corner for a rustic decorative touch. The hardware was only $1.50 for a pack of 4.  
  • I laid the wood pieces out and connected them with a little wood glue and let it dry.  
  • Once dry, I used a power drill and screwed the decorative hardware onto each corner. I used small screws so as not to go through the other side of the frame.  
  • I then placed the frame over the mirror and used a little wood glue to secure it. You will want to make sure your length and width measurements are accurate and at least ½ inch longer than the mirror itself so that the mirror edges are covered.

I love how it turned out and will probably do something similar when I get around to updating my master bath!     

I hope you find some inspiration. Check out my other bathroom projects! Happy renovating.
