Purchase a beveled and quality mirror. It won’t give you the whole clown house distorted view when you look into it as some of the cheaper full length mirrors will. This project is done off the specs of this mirror. If you choose to use a different one, you will need to fix your measurements to fit it. Started with 1×4 hardwood plywood back. How to make a bathroom organizer Next, cut wood for the frame. Use 1×4 pine boards for this part. You can also use whitewood to save money, but make sure it is straight! Anytime working, use safety gear. These are my favorite glasses because they stay up on my nose and don’t annoy me! Next, use a Kreg Jig to make 3/4″ pocket holes in each end of my 16″ pieces.

This paper works great because it can be kept it in your pocket and pulled out quickly… Perfect before attaching your boards! Abrasives sand paper and sanding paper Attached 16″ pieces to 67″ pieces using 1.25″ pocket hole screws. pocket hole screws for Kreg Jig Measurements for DIY Mirror Bathroom Case Next, add some Gorilla Wood Glue to the frame and attached it down on my 1/4″ hardwood plywood. How to add trim to mirror Use a cordless stapler to attach it from the back. After building out the door, move onto the frame of the case. For this part, use 1×6 pine boards. Cut two pieces at 23 1/8″ and two pieces at 68 3/4″. Add 3/4″ pocket holes to shorter boards. Frame measurements Use right angle clamp to hold everything together while attaching it using 1.25″ pocket hole screws. Next, add top and bottom braces. These were the same length as shelf pieces, so cut seven 1×4 pieces at 23 1/8″ each. These will be used to attach the cabinet to the wall. Add pocket holes to these boards before you attach them. These brace pieces will sit flush with the back of the cabinet. Time for the shelves! Add 3/4″ pocket holes to each piece. Attach yours wherever you would like. Shelf Placement is of your choice. Before moving on, fill all pocket holes with wood filler. Fill each hole and then use a scraper to flatten it out. This wood filler is stainable. This covers them well enough, and it’s also very easy to do. Once the putty dries, use the sanding pad to go back over it again. That’s it for the build! Stop here and stain everything using Varathane stain from Home Depot in Dark Walnut. I love this stuff! After the stain completely dried, attach mirror to the door. Used this mirror adhesive to attach it. Run a thin bead on the back side of the mirror all around. Then, lay it on the door and use painter’s tape to hold everything in place. Frame out a mirror. Final step was attaching it to the wall. Use a stud finder to find studs in the wall and mark frame where the studs would be. Then use 3″ torx or wood screws to go through braces and into the wall attaching to the stud. Pre drill before going through the brace pieces to keep the wood from splitting.
