This project really work for me! The house I bought had wall sconces EVERYWHERE, previuos owners either loved ‘em or got ‘em cheap! Anyway, I was able to create a large horizontal mirror and fit it around the sconces by leaving a mirror out of the middle row and butting another set of mirrors next to it. Lovely – it increased the light output from the sconces. Now I don’t hate them as much! Thank you!

Love this idea! I Need some decor for when I get my new place. i just went to the dollar tree and found the mirrors just like you said you could. Reading the comments to have it turn out right . Going to try bending with a finger nail and gluing the frames together and might try the plywood instead of the foam core. I have a new appreciation for dollar stores , who said they just sell junk. Viva Dollar Tree!!!

Hello Heather,

Came across this when searching for wall mirrors that will look like windows! Brilliantly simple, much more than scouring for an old window pane, separately placing individual mirrors etc.

However, I would love to make one of these and put it up on the wall. So, was wondering, since it has been over a year since you made it, how has it held up?

Did you hang it up at all?

I have to decide between this simple, and easy on the pocket solution and the more tedious window-pane route. Since, reeling from buying our first home. So, any suggestions will help, to make it sturdy enough.

BTW, am from India, where sadly the do-it-yourself is not prevalent and hence, getting even simple hardware tools such as a glue gun might be a difficult ask!

I bought a few of those mirrors and I had not idea on how to incorporate it in my living room.

Thank you so very much.

[...] We love designer-inspired projects, especially when the DIY version is much cheaper to make than the cost of the original. Sure, you could drop a few hundred dollars on a large tiled mirror to hang above your mantel, but we would rather spend $10 on supplies and make our own! (And so would our readers!)
