Cover up broken mirror

A few months ago, when moving a piece of furniture, suddenly a mirror inside it slipped down and broke part of the lower part. I had to cover this and finally did it yesterday.


1.I inverted the mirror so as to leave the broken side on the top, so that the weight of the mirror wouldn’t fall on that side and could break further (this I did the same day it broke of course)...

2.Get a long (as long as the mirror) piece of cartuline of a colour that would match with the rest of the furniture... you may need the help of a friend who knows about that stuff, I don’t! He he.
3.Define the width that you want it to cover and fold the cartuline in two parts so that the final width is the desired width.
4.Stick with cello tape the cartuline to the mirror (where there is mirror)
5.Nail (1/2” nails) or staple (with staple gun) the back of the folding of the cartuline to the backing of your mirror wherever you can reach it through the broken section of the same.

6.Stick the front folding to the back with glue or cello tape.

I am taking advantage to also paste some postcards along the cartuline as it is just next to my desk!

An obvious alternate solution is to change the mirror... at least not for now.
