As a DIY enthusiast with years of upcycling experience, I found two vintage wooden drawers at a salvage store and turned them into elegant bathroom mirrors. This simple project needs no power tools and takes just a couple of hours.
Take your drawer to a local glass shop to have a lightweight mirror cut to the exact interior dimensions. Ask them to mark the top-facing side, as vintage drawers can have slight depth variations.
Secure sturdy picture-hanging hardware to the back of the drawer. Choose hardware rated for the combined weight of the drawer and mirror. Drive screws into the sides to avoid protrusion into the mirror space.
Apply a strong adhesive evenly to the mirror's back. Position it inside the drawer, cover with a towel, and weigh it down heavily. Allow 24 hours for full drying.
Cut rope or string to fit the inner edge, concealing the mirror's perimeter. Attach securely using a hot glue gun for a polished finish.
