DIY Mirror Frame Supplies:

While we were shopping for the finishing touches for Ellies bedroom, we came across these fluted chargers. We immediately thought they would be beautiful mirrors in Ellies bedroom.

We purchased the 3 gold chargers from At Home, for $2.99 each. I have also seen beautiful chargers even at Dollar Tree. Shop around there are many great choices. Beveled mirrors to fit our chargers were purchased at Hobby Lobby. Craft mirrors are readily available at most craft stores.

These adhesive plate hangers were purchased at Hobby Lobby to provide a way to hang our chargers. They are also available on Amazon.

You will also need an adhesive that is for mirrors. Not just any adhesive will work, some adhesives can damage the reflective coating on the mirror. Be sure to read the label before purchasing. We used Gorilla Glue Construction Adhesive.

Attaching Hanger to Charger

Clean the backside of the mirror frame with alcohol, to remove and dirt or residue before applying hanger.

To prep the surface for the adhesive plate hanger, we wiped the back of the charger plate with rubbing alcohol.

Sharing is caring!

Woman activates adhesive on plate hanger by rubbing with wet fingers.

To activate the adhesive disk, wet fingers and mix a little water on the backside of the disk. This will activate the glue. Let sit for 3 minutes and repeat by wetting fingers and rub the adhesive again. Let sit for 3 minutes and then position onto the charger. Make sure it is centered on the charger.

Note: I have used these adhesive plate hangers before for a large plate wall. They worked like a charm!

I’m not sure if it was because the surface was plastic, but when we went to hang it, the hanger pulled off the charger.

Plate hanger adhered to the back of the charger.

We still used them however, we just used some Gorilla Glue Construction Adhesive to adhere them.
