I bought some frames with the idea of putting mirrors in them, and then couldn't find mirrors that fit. Never thought to look for a glass/mirror shop, until I saw this video. Of course, there's one in the next town over! Thanks for the tip!
I’m a machinist and I file a lot of metal so I wanted to say that it’s easier to file in downward motions only. Otherwise you could risk pulling the sharp edges back up. Hope that helps!
To save yourself some energy & some ear breaking squeak-age: metal files usually only work in one direction, so going back & forth doesn't do anything like sandpaper would. Just go one direction again and again. I promise it's faster & easier.
I'm so glad to be part of this family. The people here are never toxic and it just brings me joy to be here. My goal is to buy atleast one merch when I finish school and get a job. 😁😂
Loooove this new series! I appreciate that you're taking time to build quality pieces that will last too. Sometimes the "designer dupe" videos have really cool looking results but I am skeptical of how well they'll actually hold up. Also cutting glass is one of my favorite things in the world. It's so satisfying... But cutting that huge mirror would have made me have a heart attack haha
Hey Dani, quick question, I wanted absolutely love the mirror, I have pets so worried that they will knock it over and hurt them, how would you make a stand or secured structure for support?
OMG I realised I have the similar to the first miror and NOW I CAN ACTUALLY SPRAY PAINT THE ALUMINIUM!!... 🤯🤯🤯 Dani you are my kind of GENIUS!!! Green tape, Cardboard and Spray paint here I come!! 🧰🤞🏼🎨🥇 Vie 🇨🇦
Ooh, yeah, if you add in the tools it would *definitely* end up cheaper to buy it (even with shipping) but in the long run, the tools are an investment that can let you complete more projects like these. On the flip side, many hardware stores will rent you a tool, or maybe a neighbor/ relative/ friend of a friend has the tool you need. Never hurts to hunt around, right?
@@Jen_S_Hassler1258 I wish that atleast rented tool costs were included. Because while yes, you can reuse the tools, most people won't realistically use the tools enough to justify the cost since it isn't part of their job like Dani. Having the rented cost would be so beneficial to help people actually see how much it would cost them, rather than just not including any costs related to tools.
Welding is really fun. Definitely give it a try when you get a chance! It’s a trade so its not easy but I imagine your crafting skills will help in learning. I took a class in college and learned three different types of welding. Happy DIYing.
Clearly I haven't been paying enough attention bc I only just now realized you had merch! So cute! Any chance in adding a "DIY IN PROGRESS" hoodie? Loved this Ep!
What’s so funny is that my best friend and I were searching for floor mirrors and this video popped up with both the styles we love. Thank you for creatively reading our minds! So good.👍🏽
Diane, so love your video projects. I realize your moving, but you need to bring your dinning area to the 21st century. Your dinning chairs are to high; they cut the sight lines. Please do a video on seating options: upholstered cube or a good sturdy seat with low back. I recommend using Jennifer Aniston’s Architectural Digest home spread for some inspiration. But you could pull off a lighter version for your small space. Love your work!!! Good luck on your next home. 💚
I have been thinking about the first mirror for months, it is pinned all over my Pinterest! I was contemplating diying my Ikea Hovet mirror to look like it because the frame of the Hovet mirror is aluminum that I spray painted black, and all I would need to do is add the wood piece to the top and bottom. I think your creation looks 1000 times better but the Ikea idea could be a more budget-friendly but lesser quality hack!
One could also use the larger Nissedal mirror in Black and just add the stained plywood. Yes, its Not Metal but you'd still get the effect for a Fraction of the cost. Espcially because you can often find it seccond Hand on craigslist and stuff.
Hi Danny, I have been making signs my whole life and we use MDF board a lot. We would sandblast it to make a really interesting texture. To seal it we would use glue and water and then paint after that. just an idea for you. Love your work.
Danie, at some point I thought: "Girl, you need to clean the mirror before taking these close-up final shots!" But then I realized that my screen was dirty... Well done, I love these kinds of videos where you show us what works and what could be improved... Very relatable!
I LOVE LOVE LOVED this!! The instructions on how to make the mirrors and tool explanations is exactly what I'm needing!! Didn't know about the jigsaw blades! I would use the same blade to cut everything until the blade went dull! 😆 I'm so excited for your new content and seeing what you will be doing in your new home!! Again congratulations new home owner and thank you thank you thank you SSOOOO much for sharing your love of DIY with us!! You are most definitely Femme&Fierce!!! Keep making it messy!!! #femme&fierce #makeitmessy #badassdiydanie🤘💜🛠📐🎨🖌🎶🎧🐕👽🖖
For those of us who don’t have the space or tools to do this - for the 1st DIY you can literally just get the Ikea Hovet mirror (£90!), spray paint it black and stick two pieces of stained wood at the top and bottom... Edit: Having seen the cost now, I think I’d go Ikea even if I had the tools - it would cost a third of the third 😂 And for the Arch mirror - Zara, Dunelm and Wayfair 👌🏽
These are great! Re: Painting both sides of things. I love to paint sets for local, amateur productions of theater shows (back when we had theater in person) and I often get poked fun at for painting well beyond the sight lines, but I always assume it's better to be safe than sorry, especially if the set designer changes their mind halfway through a build. (To be honest, the set designer is often me, and I'm notorious for changing my mind). I love these.
Love the mirrors, they turned out great! I do think that the cost of tools should be in the 'DIY' cost because not a lot of people would have them already or even if its both prices one with tools and one without
As someome stated earlier - look into a "Maker Space" or "Tool Library" in your area. Also, yard sales can be a good place to buy tools for cheap ! Just make sure you can plug it in, or it has a working battery pack & charger if cordless !
I really appreciate your attention to detail and as I watch a lot of other diy channels here on TH-cam and have seen many cool “dupes” but I love that you mentioned the quality and how that’s an important thing when trying to recreate a product . that’s one of the big reasons I love your work and know I can trust you to finish a project in a quality way. Keep it up please! Beautiful mirrors I actually think your arched one is more beautiful than the original.

She might have another reason, but when any glass-based material has chips or breaks and you put pressure on it, it risks further damage from moving or even just temperature changes - so you could wake up one day and find a huge crack that started in that corner. If it were the first mirror she could have made that the top, but since the arch one couldn't be flipped removing the bottom was the only option.
Heidi A. Thomson BSc Life Coach omg we’re way ahead of you!! Lol! The question is why didn’t she just put the frame on top of it. Steve’s suggestion makes sense.
@@kalanlynn2067 Hiding the chip won't prevent a crack from spreading. fyi - I was responding to your comment only. Didn't read other comments. In reading Steve's comment, he is mentioning pressure on the chip and saying a crack could appear. What I am saying is that the video poster said there was already a crack. With a crack already there, it would spread with or without any covering or pressure. You want to cut away the crack to prevent future cracking by having a clean cut. It's not rocket science.
I love that you showed us the ins and outs of the tools! Not a lot of people do that and this made thinking of using these tools way more accessible! Thanks so much!
Loved the arched one! I'm wondering if the mdf structure would allow for it to be hanged on the wall with two screw eyes? or maybe the structure would need reinforcement if one wanted to hang the mirror? Cheers from Spain!
Just from experience, the hanging bracket system that looks like two long aluminum bars that lip over each other work well because they use multiple screw and distribute the weight. We use them for anything over ten pounds. Had learned the hard way 😐
Thanks. i really enjoyed the start to this series. One tip for the gold paint lovers: Traditionally gold leaf was placed over a red painted surface. If you paint gold over red, the gold feels more metallic, vibrant and real. This is especially true if you are brush painting it on. If you are going for a silver look, paint the silver over a dark cyan blue.
Thanks, as ever, Danie! The first one looks within my very narrow realm of DIY efficacy 🤷🏿♀️ May try it on a plain oversized mirror I thrifted earlier this year for my bedroom (6.5'H x 4'W)
As someone who works at West Elm and sees mirrors like these on the daily, you absolutely NAILED these! Especially the industrial floor mirror with the wood paneling!
Love how you did the break downs and including the prices throughout the video. All together really bomb editing! Def going to try to make the first mirror. Also him breaking the glass with his bare hands made me SO nervous
🎊Congrats...you did it!🎊 💰Frankly, both the West Elm boutique & your DIY prices were more than my 💲budget💲 could stretch for decor. 🤔 Found a huge floor mirror @ a garage sale for $20, so keep your 👀eyes pealed for a bargain! It's in the shape of your first project, but it was set into a frame like your oval mirror. This one has a wide frame, but it still feels rather flimsy for the weight. 🛠One of these days, I'm gonna get an mdf or plywood piece to attach to the back for added stability😊. 💜Love💜 the metal & wood mirror. The Mod Industrial Farmhouse vibe speaks to me over 70s Boho Chic. Both mirrors turned out nicely❣
Totally love this video, especially because I've been lusting over that gold arch mirror from west elm. The only factor that seems tricky is getting ahold of all those tools I don't regularly use - I wonder how much that would add to the price, even if it's just a rental... Great job Danie! Thanks for being such a creative, kind, and lovely maker and for all the awesome content you make :)
You should look up a shared makers spaces in your area! Sometimes if your lucky places will have essentially a community shared area with big tools that people don't always have or own that you can pay a little bit to use and then you don't have to invest if you don't want to or can't right now :)
There are now tool "share groups". You can even rent carpentry space and use the available tools. Often they require tool instruction before you are allowed to work in the space. For a newbie, that is a real bonus! If you are looking to upgrade your shop equipment, those places are great for trying before you buy.
For mirrors of this size, outside of Ikea, $300 is a pretty standard cost in my experience. More than I can afford to spend on a mirror atm but reasonable in my opinion.
Yes, an expensive mirror, but to find a thrifted mirror of that size would be a miracle, and although I'm not going to be spending $300 to make my OWN version of this mirror, I can totally understand her investments in her new home! I think it's impractical to think she can dupe something worth $1000 for under a couple hundred dollars. I don't think this series is going to be "ikea hacks" because they're just not quality pieces.
That being said, The Sorry Girls have a neat mirror dupe that they posted not too long ago (I think? Or maybe I just watched it recently) that's an industrial-style mirror made up of mirror panels. It turned out really neat as well, although I can't remember the total cost, I feel like it had to have been less than these dupes!
I think you're all getting me wrong. I absolutely love Danny and her channel and, of course, she can spend whatever amount of money she wants on her new home decor. I'm just saying that for the average person, these diys are just not doable. Nor the tools nor the price is up to most of the viewers budget.
Both became stunning Danie, love it. I am all for second-hand mirrors. The big ones in my house came for almost nothing. Plus, classy outlook when painted. Ain't it fun to DIY.
All I can think of is The Sorry Girls saying, “THAT COST HOW MUUUUCH”
Danie's shirt saying "Femme and Fierce" 😍
YES!
Love this shirt.😍😍😍
Danie, Please tell us
Where Did you get that shirt?!
First thing I noticed. I want that shirt.
@@dyanbuck853 you can find them on Etsy
They both turned out amazing! And aside from saving a lot of money, there is something priceless about telling someone else "oh this? I made it!"
Right?! That's my favourite feeling 🥰
Hard out
@@pampam7 Are you a kiwi? I haven't heard someone say that in forever lol
I always tell people I designed it and then they pay me to make one for them.
This one I watched all the way through without sorting for a scrapbook crop. I loved the tall straight mirror - Fabulous!!!!
I bought some frames with the idea of putting mirrors in them, and then couldn't find mirrors that fit. Never thought to look for a glass/mirror shop, until I saw this video. Of course, there's one in the next town over! Thanks for the tip!
I loved the arched mirror. Still find it too pricey sadly for me , but maybe inspirational.
Love the gold curved west elm mirror! Simply
elegant and you did fabulous job making it!
Not sure which I want to try, both rock. I think with the deco in my room the second works a bit better, but I LOVED the first one too.
I’m a machinist and I file a lot of metal so I wanted to say that it’s easier to file in downward motions only. Otherwise you could risk pulling the sharp edges back up. Hope that helps!
Good morning Danie

I feel like the cost of those tools should be included in the cost of diy-ing these. Is it actually cheaper if you don't already have the tools?

They look fantastic
Beautiful! My! You're talented!
Hi Danie I can't choose they are both beautiful.
Today I learned that I do not in fact find the sound of metal being filed pleasing.
The more you learn 🌈 ✨
Yeah I had to mute it at that part. Eeeeek 😬
I literally felt my stomach fall out. Not a good sound 😫

Love it. Looming forward to next one
Danie, why did you bother to shorten the second mirror if that chipped section at the bottom would have been hidden by the MDF frame?
She might have another reason, but when any glass-based material has chips or breaks and you put pressure on it, it risks further damage from moving or even just temperature changes - so you could wake up one day and find a huge crack that started in that corner. If it were the first mirror she could have made that the top, but since the arch one couldn't be flipped removing the bottom was the only option.
@@stevejenks9940 Great answer! Thanks :)

Amazing mirrors! 👏 Seeing your background so empty makes me so excited about your new home ❤
Lol when you immediately notice the lack of decor in the background and that makes you excited for future new home vids 😂
Lol, the real question is”Did your Mom get to keep the arched mirror”? Beautiful work!! Love them both . TFS😊😊
I’m obsessed with the industrial mirror!! Such a gorgeous colour stain on the wood too. You did such good work 💕
A note on the shellac: it's made from beatles and it not cruelty-free. Please avoid!

Yes, an expensive mirror, but to find a thrifted mirror of that size would be a miracle, and although I'm not going to be spending $300 to make my OWN version of this mirror, I can totally understand her investments in her new home! I think it's impractical to think she can dupe something worth $1000 for under a couple hundred dollars. I don't think this series is going to be "ikea hacks" because they're just not quality pieces.
That being said, The Sorry Girls have a neat mirror dupe that they posted not too long ago (I think? Or maybe I just watched it recently) that's an industrial-style mirror made up of mirror panels. It turned out really neat as well, although I can't remember the total cost, I feel like it had to have been less than these dupes!
I think you're all getting me wrong. I absolutely love Danny and her channel and, of course, she can spend whatever amount of money she wants on her new home decor. I'm just saying that for the average person, these diys are just not doable. Nor the tools nor the price is up to most of the viewers budget.
Both became stunning Danie, love it. I am all for second-hand mirrors. The big ones in my house came for almost nothing. Plus, classy outlook when painted. Ain't it fun to DIY.
love it.
