- Wood Pieces of Choice - Liquid Nails - Clamps - Miter Saw - Stain or Paint - Wood Glue

Using a tape measure, determine the dimensions of your mirror frame.

Cut frame using a miter saw making 45 degree angles for the corners. If choosing a thin border, a fine tooth saw blade is preferred due to the chance of splintering thin framing material.

Once you have made your cuts, I suggest painting or staining the pieces of wood your preferred color before you adhere them.

Apply adhesive to the back of the frame pieces and clamp to the edge of the mirror. Allow adhesive to dry according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Once the mirror glue has dried, now is the time to correct any imperfections at the frame corners. If there is any unevenness at the seams, you can make it appear flush with wood glue.
