Although there are several ways to frame a mirror, creating a frame with molding is an easy project that requires basic materials and simple tools. Whether creating an antique mirror frame or a simple DIY frame, these simple steps help you complete the project. Before you frame the mirror, use a tape measure to record its exact measurements. After selecting the desired style of molding, determine the appropriate size for the material based on the size of the mirror. For a proper fit, add 2 inches to the length and width of the mirror for the molding. After selecting the right style of molding, use a miter saw to cut the long piece into four equal pieces. Next, use the miter saw to create 45-degree miters at each end on each piece of molding. Ensure each piece is of equal size before assembling the frame. Place the four pieces together on a flat surface, and dab wood glue on the inside corners of each piece. Connect all four pieces, and use painter's tape to hold the frame together temporarily.

While waiting for the wood glue on the frame to dry, place the mirror on a plywood backboard. This backboard should be 2 inches longer and 2 inches wider than the mirror. Next, cover the 2 inches around the mirror with individual 2-inch lattice pieces. Use wood glue to attach the lattice pieces to the outside border of the backboard. Clamp the lattice pieces to the backboard, and allow the pieces to dry for at least 24 hours. The mirror should fit snugly inside these pieces. Place the frame on top of the backboard, and make certain it rests slightly on the outside of the lattice pieces. Without dripping any glue on the mirror, glue the frame around the border of the mirror on top of the lattice pieces. Next, glue wood rosettes to the corners of the frame, and use 1-inch screws to secure the rosettes in place. Gently turn the mirror over to allow the frame to dry. Attach two D-rings to the back of the mirror to hang it on the wall. Place one D-ring on the far-left side of the backing and the other D-ring on the far-right side.
