- Measure and Cut Parts. Measure and cut your 1×4 lumber (actual dimensions 1/2-in. x 3-1/2-in.) into four pieces, aiming to make a frame that protrudes 1-in.
- Dry-fit Frame Parts. Lay your cut frame pieces down on the mirror and see how they fit together. You should get a fairly tight, gap-free fit with 1-in. of the frame overhanging the edges of the mirror on all sides.
- Drill Holes for Pocket Screws. Note: This step and the next one aren’t strictly necessary. But they allow you to join the frame parts ahead of time, leading to a much tighter fit at the joints and an easier gluing process.

The first step is to measure your vanity mirror length and width. Using your miter saw, cut your wood at a 45-degree angle so the outside portion of your wood piece will be the full length of the mirror (see pic above). Make cuts for all four sides. Next, sand the wood so it’s nice and smooth, be sure not to sand the angled cuts too much – you want...
We put our mirror together like this: top first, left side, bottom, then right side. When putting in the last piece it should fit like a puzzle, nice and tight.
