Mirror upcycling - how it works ...
The base
With its wide rim, the Ikea "Stockholm" mirror attracts attention. This means that his decoration potential is far from exhausted. We show a creative do-it-yourself idea.

In small corridors and delicate furniture, the mirror may like to be larger: As it reflects the light, it makes the entrance area appear more spacious. This offers additional storage space and storage space with shelf and compartment for unfolding.

Mirror upcycling Step by Step
1. Paint parts:
Chamfer the board on both sides, the longitudinal board on a narrow edge with the file so that they adapt to the rounding of the mirror. The mirror frame on the outside burgundy, the flap pink and the two boards gray.
2. Glue shelf:
Glue the longitudinal board at a distance of 23.5 cm from the lower right edge with the straight side to the rear, flush with the crossboard. Screw one side of the front piano strap flush against the right front edge of the longitudinal board. Coat the three sides with glue and stick in the mirror.
3. Mount the flap:
Screw the flap to the other side of the piano strap. Drill a hole for the knob of the furniture knob according to the template. Attach the furniture knob.
