Step-by-step Instructions
Step 1
Drill 3/4" pocket holes with your Kreg Jig on each end of the 10-1/2" long 1x2s. Attach with glue to the 49-5/8" long 1x2s. This inner frame should be the same size as the mirrors. To attach the outer frame in later steps, drill 3/4" pocket holes facing outward on the frame.
Step 2
Staple cardboard over the back of the mirror frame. Add batting to the back, and then wrap the entire back with fabric and staple to the mirror side of the frame.
Step 3
Build the outer frame with 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws. Place inner frame inside and attach through the pocket holes you drilled in step 1 (or you can attach from outside with 1-1/4" nails).
Step 4
Apply construction adhesive to the inner frame on the mirror side and place mirror inside. Let fully dry.
Step 5
Finishing
Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
