While creative, that's a lot of weight added to a delicate flimsy light weight card board backed mirror. It is EIGHT BUCKS FOR A REASON. To adhere/with adhesive to the back of a hollow core door I strongly suggest fortifying the backing with plywood, particle board, old paneling before you add that massive weight. PLUS: If you plan on hanging it be sure to use a better method for attaching your anchors. The hooks it came with are not anchored, but glued and it will not be adequate to support that added heavy weight. LASTLY: If you plan on leaning it against a wall, be sure to anchor it or hinge it by attaching to the wall if you have small kids or pets. Broken mirror/glass can sever an artery before you can dial 911. When falling it is human nature to put your hand up, making your wrist venerable. Safety first before inexpensive decorating. HOMETALK: I strongly advise a remake of this design. This is a dangerous idea.

🤔 Why not just cut the tiles into long strips and use the spacing that they're already applied to the backing mat with?
@modifiedmomma2365
2 жыл бұрын
It won’t always be the exact spacing depending on the mirror size. It’s all depending on the tile size and the mirror size and not cutting it could lead to the tile strip being too short or overhanging too much to fit. I’m sure it could be done, but it would likely limit tile options

I made one like this last year after seeing it on Pinterest & thinking it was such a great idea. It's NOT! I even added a thin plywood backing to mine but I only glued it to the mirror since like most of these frames they're hollow on the back & sit higher than the mirror that they're partway glued on to. On mine the top half of the plastic frame part broke from the weight and off. Do yourself a favor and remove the frame from the mirror, glue the mirror to a piece of plywood cut the size of your mirror plus the size of your tile & grout spacing . I laid my tile on the plywood, laid out my tile around it to get the size I needed plus grout lines, drew a line all the way around and cut the plywood.

The only thing I would suggest is to add a piece of thin plywood to the entire back. With the added weight of tiles it has a tendency of wanting to warp if not lying flat..Some of the cheaper mirrors only have a cardboard backing with is not enough to support the weight of added tiles. Great look and Upgrade for the mirror👍

I want to echo another comment I saw. This is a cute idea but there’s some safety information that needs to be included in this video. Heavy tiles on a flimsy mirror is a recipe for disaster if it gets knocked over and a kid/pet gets hurt by the broken glass. The backing really should be reinforced and then the whole thing anchored to a wall.

Plus, they are not strong enough to bear the weight. So get a good mirror in the first place, and make it beautiful. I have a quality mirror that I've had for over 45 years, still as clear as the day I received it. I have this kind of mirror and they were junk before 10 years. Blessings!
