You Will Need (5 things)

  • Fabric
  • White Glue
  • Brush
  • Scissors
  • Framed Mirror

Steps (5 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 1

    Take the pieces apart and clean the surfaces from dirt or any dried glue.

  2. 2

    You can choose any fabric you like but remember that by using a thick one, you might end up with ugly folded corners.
    •Put the empty frame on the fabric and mark its shape, measuring about 3-4cm allowance for each side (depending on your frame's thickness).
    •After cutting out the shape, snip the inside corners to help the fabric turn over the frame.

  3. 3

    •Apply a thin layer of white glue and turn the inner sides of the fabric over, remembering to stretch it each time.
    •Repeat the same process for the front side.

  4. 4

    •Cut off the corners diagonally in order to make neat corner folds.
    Glue the excess fabric on the back, covering the whole frame.

  5. 5

    •Put the mirror inside the frame, secure the back and...
    it is READY!!!
    If you need to attach any small parts (such as nail hangers)
    just make tiny snips on the fabric and push them through.
