The neighbors threw out a mirror, and I picked up their trash and repaired the old mirror

The neighbors simply threw out an old mirror, and I had been dreaming of one like that for a long time 😅 That’s why I decided to repair the mirror 😲

The repair took only three days 🥰 The result turned out magical 😅 I’m sharing pictures of my work through the link in the comments 👇👇

One day, I noticed how the neighbors were getting rid of an old mirror — they simply placed it by the trash. Someone might have walked past it, but I didn’t see a pile of glass, I saw… my dream! I’ve long wanted a large window-like mirror, and here was my chance.

First, I cleaned the mirror from deposits — it wasn’t in the best condition, but it was manageable.

I sawed the slats for the frame that would go along the edges of the mirror. I carefully sanded all the edges, painted the slats, and glued them around with liquid nails — directly on the floor.

Then I glued two long vertical slats and then, using an ordinary piece of wood as a template, glued the shorter horizontal ones.

It turned out that the mirror didn’t have a rigid base; it was just a sheet, and it bent with every movement I made.

In the end, I ordered wood pulp and used… a cable channel as a mold! It perfectly matched the width of my slats. I greased it with oil, filled it with pulp, and then broke off the side to remove the formed frame.

Of course, I didn’t get a perfect solid piece, and my frame turned out to be made of several fragments. While they were still wet, I laid them along the edge of the mirror and fixed them to set the shape.

Hoping to sand it down was naive. The pulp, when dry, turned out to be stubborn. In the end, I had to level everything with wood filler.

Sanding the filler was easier. Then I painted and glued the whole structure.

When the semicircular frame was ready, I added two vertical slats to the small mirror — so they would visually continue the arrangement of the large one.

All that was left was to hang the mirrors evenly, without gaps.

The mirror is ready! What do you think of the result?
