We're making our own mirrors We needed something to fill up these empty spaces next to our mirror And we can't stand here all day Step one and gather all your materials So we want to attempt to make a mercury glass mirror, so it's aged-looking glass But we're gonna make that aged mirror From plain glass. It's gonna be a faux Mercury aged mirror because I don't trust us with chemicals No, I don't trust us with chemicals. Oh, she doesn't trust me with chemicals So we don't want to take a mirror and strip off the paint. So we're going to make a mirror We're gonna make our own mirror. We found this Mirror effect Rust-Oleum. We're using a 12 by 16 panel of glass from Home Depot We gathered some trim pieces. We're trying to match a mirror You saw it. So we gathered some trim pieces that will mimic it and we got a piece of backer board ours is like that Clipboard material. Yes, it's like a clipboard material. Yep, and some liquid nails step two Make all your cuts We already cut our trim pieces and we're now going to attempt to cut a piece of glass We need an eight inch piece Eight or eight and a half Okay, since we're gonna be cutting glass It clearly states that you should use safety glasses and gloves All right, we picked this glass cutting tool up from Home Depot when we got the panels and Now we're gonna try to cut some glass says to put a little drop of oil on there So you've done that Nice even pressure all the way across Oops, all right, we're gonna flip it and tap it Yeah, step two was cutting it step three is flip it over and Use the ball of this little glass cutting tool It's a ball end and you just tap the scored line Oh a crack it breaks the glass right on your scored line And look at that a little crooked a lot crooked Yeah, you won't even see it. We'll put it at the bottom. Hey, but it came out. Okay, not bad I think that was my wobbly hand with the cutting tool Yes All right I'm gonna clean this up the rest of these panels. We're gonna use with the size as the size that they can go by 16 step three Mock them up Don't need the protection anywhere, right? Oh I guess not all right now. We're gonna mock it up put everything in place like We hope to have it All right, so should I I guess I gotta open the rest of these you're gonna mock it up with the glass panels, right? Yeah Yeah, all right, we're gonna use some liquid nails and Some tape to glue it in place. We're just moving the frame right now And then we're gonna paint everything and then glue the panes of glass in it all taped up step five Time to paint the frame and paint the glass Hey, it's a mirror. I'll see it's you Awesome step two. It's beautiful now. We're gonna age it All right, we make some apple cider vinegar and some water half and half Now we're gonna make some splashes and blockages It's going to eat through the paint a little bit and we'll get the rag and pull up some of this paint So we can see the aging through it Twisting motion pull up some of that paint. It's hard to see. There we go. Okay so now we have Kind of eaten away some of the paint the mirror paint. We're gonna let this dry We're gonna add paint to the back of this Now I'm just gonna hit them with two different color paints on the back in different areas all right Hold it still. Let me see them. I were just gonna finish up the back with some flat black Step six We glue the mirrors down now that everything's dry our frame is dry and our beautiful mirrors are dry They look so aged.
