Hello :). Welcome to my second guide
In this guide I'm going to show you how I made my mirror with additions.

The glass comes from a mirror with a plastic frame. As wood under the glass I wanted to use a thick plywood from which I removed the nails, but I never make a project on a piece of paper, only in my mind, I just changed my mind because I thought the mirror would be too thick and I decided to use a fibreboard.

Drawers that I used for this piece of furniture come from a mini dresser, from the time when my hobby was decoupage. Ideally suited to such a small mirror, so I tore off the knobs and used sandpaper to remove the decorations.

After :)

To make a cabinet for drawers I used a mix of various types of wood, which come from pallets, old broken furnitures. Every wood can be useful, I do not throw anything away and I gather a lot of recycled wood in my little apartment ;). I cut wood using a Japanese saw. I got my Japanese saw for Christmas. Some women get perfumes, clothes for Christmas, but I like to get tools ;D.

I smoothed the edges of the wooden elements with sandpaper.

I used glue for wood and carpentry squeezing

and nails.

I cut the shape

in the fiber board.

I added a copper decoration on the frame

and on the drawer.

I combined everything into a whole and painted a pattern on the glass.
Later I used wax.
