This is exactly the kind of tutorial I have been looking for on here. I don't have any fancy tools... or really any at all. But I can do tape! making my list now! Thanks!

[@MADEbyAP]

Awesome! Glad you found it helpful! Good luck with your project :)

[@dianec6290]

Great idea. Thank you.

[@MADEbyAP]

Thanks!!

[@spacecaptain9188]

I bet some thin baseboard trim would work for this project... (for those of us without access to a wood-shop).

[@MADEbyAP]

Absolutely! Another thing too is you could cut the trim down to size at the home center. I know my Home Depot has cutting stations with miter saws, so if you know your exact measurements you can just cut them there. And actually, make them a hair larger and just pick up some 120 grit sand paper so you can sand it down to a tight fit. OR, you could just buy a miter saw kit, I don't think they're that expensive and they come with the miter saw and a jig with different angles, so no power tools are needed. Good call out!

[@JoyceConvis]

Worked great!!!!! Thank you!

[@MADEbyAP]

Woo hoo!!

[@RicardoGonzalez-ox9qn]

Thanks, super helpful. I'm thinking of update my bathroom. Good idea to frame my bathroom mirror.

[@1harlemlilly755]

I will definitely do this with my bathroom mirrors!!!!!

[@franco2b145]

This was awesome!!! Came looking for exactly this..🤜🏾🤛🏼

[@MADEbyAP]

NICE! Glad you found it helpful. Good luck!!

[@lukki7ster]

Super helpful. I am considering something like this for my builder grade bathroom mirrors. P.s you are fun to watch, great personality!

[@MADEbyAP]

MISS Thommas thank you so much! And good luck with the bathroom mirrors. I will say that after a few months the tape is still holding strong! VHB tape is solid stuff!

[@batimusmaximus2743]

Will this work in a bathroom, or will all the moisture cause the tape to fail over time?

[@MADEbyAP]

Hi there. I have heard of people using this method in bathrooms with success but I haven’t personally tried it yet. This product looks promising though (again haven’t tried it but it’s rated for moisture resistance) amzn.to/3S8bnHv

[@rodneyhamilton2562]

I wonder if some kind of glue could work instead of tape. I don't do well with tape.

[@lizapreciosa19]

Hiya, what wood do you need to buy for frame? and what type of pain u do need?

[@MADEbyAP]

Maria Liza Basa hiya. I just bought molding from Home Depot. For the paint I used a satin enamel but you can use anything that goes with the look you’re trying to achieve. Good luck! Oh, you can see the full instructions here. www.madebyap.com/2020/06/14/diy-stick-on-mirror-frame/

[@verdictDIY2536]

I'm going to try it after the 4th since everything's closed tomorrow🙃 that was super helpful😉 thanks🙏🏾

[@MADEbyAP]

That’s great!! Good luck!!

[@Belle-bx9vs]

Do know if there’s any stick on frames to cover original color frame

[@MADEbyAP]

Interesting question! I actually do not. I wonder if you could use contact paper. Like the kind you use to line a kitchen shelf? Just trim it down to size and then place it on, pushing into any grooves in the original frame? Could be an interesting experiment!

[@aligetty1624]

I want to try this on a TV

[@MADEbyAP]

Oh my god yes!

[@HerStory81]

I've always wanted a full length mirror for my bedroom. I found someone remodeling ans got huge mirror for FREE ! I love it but it is so plain. Im going to definitely do this. Thanks for making this video.

[@MADEbyAP]

That is awesome! Good luck!

[@daydreamer2995]

Very helpful....thanks for this tip

[@lucillehartman513]

Very helpful.

[@MADEbyAP]

Thanks!!

[@irinasorokina1614]

Thanks a lot for the great video!! Can I use some transparent glue instead of the tape? (For example Power Grab Ultimate Crystal Clear Construction Adhesive.)

[@MADEbyAP]

Thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful. I would be very careful with glue because it can get messy and if it expands out for any reason, then you'll be looking at glue globs. If you really had to go the route of glue, I'd look for something that doesn't expand and gives you some working time. Powergrab is a pretty quick cure so if you screw up there's not a lot of wiggle room to adjust. Look for something made for glass. I've never used it but Loctite PL530 is made for mirrors, granite and marble or even Liquid Nails Mirror Adhesive. Again, I don't have any experience with those but if I had to, I would go with one rated for mirrors and glass. I hope that helps!

How does the tape hold up in a bathroom

[@MADEbyAP]

That's a great question! I haven't tried this in the bathroom yet. You may want to try a waterproof VHB tape? I did a quick search in Amazon and found this - I don't want to guarantee it'll work but it's worth an experiment for sure! amzn.to/33EBz5V

[@johnniepegues305]

Thank you❤

[@scarletjazz]

Good job!

[@MADEbyAP]

Thanks! It was a lot of fun! On to the next project haha.

[@JamesHannonAuthor]

Had no idea what you were doing at first, but it came out really cool! And as you'll see in the next few hours appropriate to what I'm about to ask you to be a part of LOL

[@MADEbyAP]

Haha, stick on villains?

[@JamesHannonAuthor]

MADE by AP something like that lol

[@mariabali221]

I need to frame my outdated bathroom mirror, thought I’d spend a lot of $. This idea is perfect, thank you!

[@MADEbyAP]

Maria Bali let me know how it turns out!

[@pocahontaswilliams3362]

What is Vbh tape and where can I purchase it

[@MADEbyAP]

Hi there, you can get it here: amzn.to/2UGsDFK - good luck!

[@patriciadickens7830]

How did make the cut.

[@MADEbyAP]

Hi. I used a miter saw. You can pick up a miter box and saw pretty cheap at your local hardware store or Amazon. amzn.to/3utUC0h

[@BicanaBrown]

Very helpful 🙌🏽

[@MADEbyAP]

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

[@johnniepegues305]

Vvh tape what is that

[@MADEbyAP]

Hi! It’s VBH (very high bond). Link to the stuff I used is in the description.

[@angiemacent]

Awesome 👌.

[@MADEbyAP]

Thanks 🤗

[@jaylina215]

Awesome! Is that double stick tape renter friendly? Or would u recommend something else?

[@MADEbyAP]

Hi there! I don’t want to make any promises that it’s renter friendly but I will say that it is fairly easy to remove. Just use a sharp edge like a plastic putty knife to rock off the frame, and then clean up the tape residue with some “Goof Off” and a razor blade. Just go slow and take your time because you don’t want to break the mirror. You could also try regular double sided tape from like “Staples” but I don’t think you’ll get the same bond (which will give you a less tidy look). If you do go that route though let me know how it works out!

[@mrjbonell08]

How did you paint

[@MADEbyAP]

With a brush!

[@pamdavis6604]

Where do you buy the tape at? Will this work if you want to frame your bathroom mirror? Above the sink I'm talking about . Nice informative video, thank you 🍁🍂🌾🎃

[@MADEbyAP]

Hi there, for a bathroom mirror I'd use 3M's high bond VHB tape (amzn.to/3EVl5o6) I've never used it but it looks like its waterproof and handles temperature chang really well. Glad you liked the video and good luck!!

[@HerStory81]

Question: Was the first "crime" committed with molding as well, just a thicker one?

[@MADEbyAP]

Andrea White hey glad you’re giving this a go! The first crime I was covering up was just how my tape job on the original molding looked awful, especially since you could see the original color in the reflection. Plus the fact that I couldn’t remove the mirror from the original frame. So I had to use a thinner molding up against the original to make it all look cohesive. If you’re starting with a naked mirror you should be good to go with whatever molding you want. Just make sure you paint both sides!

[@wayneguy6043]

The tape will now be reflected in the mirror......lol

[@MADEbyAP]

It may depend on the size of your molding but I just took this picture and I can’t see the tape! If you’re using a wider molding it’s probably better to put the tape in the center and near the frame edge to be safe. share.icloud.com/photos/0sxwtzKn7P-OHbZ-27DIbzkZA#Plainfield
