How to make an entry mirror

Have you ever thought that the door occupies space that could be exploited in a more useful or aesthetical way? Then why not transforming your door in a mirror, for example? The process is very simple and it contains a few clear steps.

First of all you should make your own frame for the mirror from wood and assemble it with glue and clamps. When the glue is dry, sand the mirror frame with 120-grit followed by 220-grit sandpaper. Then glue the filler strips around the perimeter of the back with the edges flush. After that you should use a mirror adhesive to secure the mirror into the recess created by the back assembly filler strips. Want more? Let’s attach a shelf!

After building the shelf, clamp it in your frame by drilling 3/16″ pilot holes 3″. To stain and hang your creation, you must now remove the shelf. Apply a wood stain of your choice with a foam brush and then let the stain to dry. After that, you should secure the mirror and reattach the shelf. You can attach your new creation to the door with a picture-hanging system. And “voila”, you’re greatest creation is at last completed!

Wood working can be fun and it’s also creative! You can spend some quality time with friend or family by making something fun and useful. Each time you’ll look into the mirror or pass by the door you’ll remember the lovely time spent with them and all the fun you had.{found on lowes}.
