Fabric or paper, PVC tubes or barbecue sticks, paint or clothespins - the frame for the mirror can be made from a wide variety of materials and things.
1. Mirror in a frame with rays: a master class
Photo: catiescorner2.blogspot.com
It’s easy to make such a decor for a mirror, but it looks like a work of a famous designer.
You will need:
- a small round mirror in the frame;
- packaging of wooden sticks for barbecue;
- universal glue or glue gun;
- eyelet to hang a mirror;
- silver paint in a cylinder;
- masking tape.
1. Turn the mirror over and glue sticks onto it from the inside. Start with two rays opposite each other, then glue the two sticks perpendicularly to the first, then at an angle of 45 degrees and so on: so the rays will fall evenly in a circle. You can make all the rays the same length or leave a few longer.

2. Glue the loop from the inside, for which you will hang a mirror.

3. Cover the front of the mirror with masking tape so that the paint does not get on the glass. Paint the frame and the rays with silver paint from a spray can, let it dry and remove the adhesive tape. Done!

2. A mirror in a frame of ringlets: a master class

Another simple but effective option, suitable also for rooms with high humidity, for example, for the bathroom (the main thing is to use waterproof glue).
You will need:
- round mirror;
- a pair of PVC pipes (such are used in plumbing);
- glue for plastic, glue gun or other durable waterproof glue;
- a jigsaw, a hacksaw or a strong breadboard knife;
- sandpaper;
- ruler and pencil or marker.
1. Mark PVC pipes into pieces of the same thickness (1-2 cm). Saw the tubes into rings with a saw or cut with a breadboard knife. To make the edges smooth, sand them. The number of rings depends on the size of the frame you want to make.

2. Lay out the rings on the working surface, observing the shape of a circle with a hole in the middle. The hole in the circle should be slightly smaller in diameter than the diameter of your mirror. Glue the circles to the sides, following the pattern. When everything is ready, leave the glue to dry.

3. Now glue the frame to the back of the mirror. When the glue dries, the mirror can be hung on the wall: one of the rings of the frame can serve as a loop.

To create such a frame, you may need male help - or not, if you are able to handle the saw deftly enough. The result, however, is worth it - such a mirror will look especially good in a country house or in an apartment decorated with natural materials.
You will need:
- round mirror;
- a sheet of plywood;
- several branches of a tree of different diameters (for example, branches left after trimming trees or found in the forest);
- a file or a jigsaw;
- sandpaper;
- strong glue;
- pencil, ruler.
1. Put your mirror on a plywood sheet and circle it in a circle.

2. Along the entire circumference, measure an equal distance (this will be the width of your frame) and draw another circle.

3. Saw off the plywood in a larger circle.

As a basis, you can take plywood (it will need to be cut to the size of the frame) or durable plastic (then you can do with a breadboard knife). The frame itself can be made from a thinner or thicker cord.

- a frame-sized base (a cut circle made of plywood or durable plastic with a diameter larger than the diameter of your mirror);
- rope or cord;
- strong glue;
