How to make it:
-Cut out four 12″ x 12″ pieces of wood.
-Use wood glue in between two of the pieces of wood, clamp together and let dry.
-Repeat with the other two pieces of wood.
-Measure and cut your pieces down to 11.5″ wide x 10.5″ tall.
-Measure and mark out 3″ at the center, top of the wood and 3″ up from bottom on each side. Connect the ends of these measurements to form a V (-ish) shape.
-Cut out the sections (corners) you just marked.
-Sand edges if necessary.
-Measure to the center of the top 3″ section. Draw an 8″ line at that point towards the bottom of the board.
-Measure out from that line the width you will need to cut out for your mirror. This will vary based on mirror size. (My mirror was 1/8″ thick and I added an extra 1/8″ for the felt lining – if your mirror is thicker, your measurements will be different.) I measured 1/8″ out from each side of the center line (totaling 1/4″ thick but keeping it centered.)
-Cut out this section.
-Cut out four 1″ x 7″ pieces of felt and glue to each side of the inside of this cut.
-Once they are dry, slide mirror into place. If it isn’t a tight fit, use glue on the back of the mirror before placing it into the wood.
