Preparation:
First remove the plastic framing of the mirror.
 
Cut out the pieces of the framework:
Using the miror like a gauge, transfer the shape of the mirror on paperboard.
Draw the contour of the framing so that the interior edges do not touch the contour of the mirror and that the higher edges exceed at least of 1".
Reproduce this profile second once. Then we have the first 2 profiles of the framework.
Draw one 3rd profile by deferring contours of the mirror and to cut out to 1" cm of these contours. We have here the support of the mirror .
The framing:
Stick one to the other the first 2 profiles with the adhesive gun.
Cover the interior and external sections with brown gummed tape.
Tear strips of newspaper.
Prepare the glue with wallpaper glue as indicated on packing and Add a full spoon of woodworking glue.
Paste the bands of newspaper in a direction, then after drying, in the other direction, in order to cover all surface and the sections interior and external of the 2 pasted profiles. |
The decoration of the frame :
Paint the framework and Decorate it with your own way.
The support of the mirror:
Stick the mirror with the hot glue gun on the 3rd profile by locating marks.
With the old paperboard calendar, Cut out with same dimensions as the 3rd profile and to hollow out the interior with dimensions of the mirror (make a frame).
This framework thus preformed makes it possible to fill the thickness of the mirror. Stick around the mirror.
Assembly of the framing and the support of the mirror:
On the back of the framing, Mark the site of the support of the mirror.
Paste with the adhesive-gun the contour of the mirror and apply to the back of the framing.
Cover the back with gummed tape for a better completion.
Paste with the adhesive neoprene the fastener for framework and Stud so that the ring is found apart from the support of the mirror.
It's 'all but remain you to suspend your mirror!
