How to Fix a Broken Mirror
It happens to the best of us – we go to lean in for a close-up look at our reflection and accidentally drop our mirror shattering it into pieces. Whether it’s a small crack or a large gaping hole a broken mirror is an unsightly addition to any room. But before you go running to the store to buy a new one did you know that you can actually fix a broken mirror yourself?
Here’s what you’ll need to gather in order to fix your broken mirror:
– A large sheet of glass (you can buy this at a hardware store)
– A roll of mirror adhesive tape
– A utility knife
– A straight edge
– A clean cloth
Now that you have all of the materials you need follow these simple steps to fix your broken mirror:
1. First use the utility knife to cut the damaged mirror out of the frame. If there is any remaining glass or adhesive on the frame be sure to remove it as well.
2. Next measure the glass sheet to the same size as the opening in the frame. Cut the glass to size with the utility knife.
3. Next apply the mirror adhesive tape around the perimeter of the frame opening.
4. Carefully place the cut glass sheet into the frame opening. Use the straight edge to press the glass down into the adhesive.
5. Wipe away any excess adhesive with the clean cloth.
6. Hang the mirror back up on the wall and enjoy your reflection!
