Mirror with Wood Frame

I took my closet apart a while ago as it was falling apart. I kept all the pieces o could use of course. One of those pieces was a rectangular mirror that was part of One of the closet doors. It lay around for a while until I decided what to do with it.

If you have read my past posts, there is the old garden gate. I still had pieces of it left over, even after Making the Coat Rack with the most of it.

I cut the wood into almost the same width, the length couldn't be the same because I had to cut off some mouldy bits. I just hoped I would have enough for the whole frame, otherwise I would have to have another idea.

It was just the right amount. My luck! 😉
I sanded it all down. First by hand then o remembered that I have  a multi-tool. Got that out but the sand paper wouldn't stay stuck to the Velcro bit on the machine. So back to doing it by hand again....

That eventually done, I turned the mirror over, placed the pieces and screwed them on, one by one. I did it from the back so as not to see the screws from the front.

I then drilled two holes in the top of the wood to put in hooks to hang the mirror up.
