Directions:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nBegin by cutting your wood to the length using 45* miter angles.<\/p>\n
Stain your wood using paper towels or an old rag. I REALLY wanted an aged look and spent quite a while at Home Depot testing different stains on various woods, and after a LOT of trial and error, we discovered the stain we bought to be the one. (See above.)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once dry, lay out your frame on a flat surface and ensure all angles match up nicely. And if not, try again. Ha!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Then, glue the inside of the corners making sure not to use too much glue so it doesn’t seep out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Next, center the L brackets on each corner and drill pilot holes before screwing them into place.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Next, place the frame over the mirror to make sure it fits, and then with a dry erase marker, roughly trace the inside of the frame onto the mirror so that you have a guideline for where to glue. Using tight S patterns, apply the Gorilla Glue on the mirror about an inch or so inside the line you made so that when the wood presses against it, it doesn’t squirt out the sides.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once the glue is on the mirror, place the frame over the glue, make sure it is level, and press firmly until secure. That’s it!<\/p>\n
