Thank you so much luv❤️❤️ . I’m just now taking the edges apart and it’s so easy.
Ur welcome hun.. 💕I'm glad it's working out for you
I bought the mirrors at Lowe's($6.98) soaked the mirrors in the bathtub with hot water to remove the glue and paper behind the mirrors (5 minutes).
On the frame I removed the clips using nail pliers and the silicone/glue between the frame and the mirror is good quality so I had to use the hair dryer to heat this silicone/glue and then I used a utility knife to cut the damn glue. It was the best way I managed to remove the frames without breaking the mirrors. (But unfortunately I broke two mirrors until I understood the best way to do it).
i’ve broke 2 mirrors already, thank you! i needed this
To make things easier and less time consuming , fill your tub with hot water and stick the mirrors in and leave them for about 5 minutes . Frames just fall right off and take a spatula and remove all the excess from the backside , saved my life !
The hot water won’t crack the mirror ?
@@deyannagunnell1218 unless you put the glass from hot straight to cold water it shouldnt crack just let it cool for like 20 mins or so
Can anyone else confirm this worked for them?
@@brianmalexander only thing is be gentle with the mirrors , they're really flimsy like thin mirrors so you wanna watch the weight on both ends whenever lifting it from the water / using the spatula
Omg I love you 💕 just tried it and worked so so so well!!!
Thank you!!!! I had this idea and came to youtube to look for references. You did it amazingly! Imma do it the same way 🙏🙏🙏
Ouuu I love your pocket knife 😫😍‼️
What I found was easier was running hot water down on the mirror for about a minute on the top and bottom. (Be careful if does help with the glue and the frame will pop off)
Yes pmg this used
Worked ** lol
BEAUTIFUL ❤️...I soaked the mirrors in hot water in the tub, ONLY for bout 20-30 seconds(if your tub is big enough) if not spray hot water.. The cardboard will float in the tub when you take out mirror... I'm attempting to cut the mirrors long ways in half for a decor on accent wall.. I've broke 2, but I'm stubborn, I'll keep trying until I get what I want...
That's pretty cool... good advice
So what do you do after you soak the mirror
That's so Raven....Thanks for the tutorial.
Lol the first mirror was tricky, I demolished the rest of them just fine. All you have to do is zip a razorblade along the the glue line then spread the frame didn't even cut the cardboard on the back after the second one, I have bought 10
I wish I would’ve seen this first after attempting to do it & breaking two mirrors, then giving up & just hung the mirrors & plan on decorating them or something 🤷🏾♀️😩
I accidentally broke a couple also ... using a heating gun would be better n easier
Can you make a video of precision like how did you stick them together and with what glue I’m trying to do the same thing for my bedroom
she used command free hanging strips. just put the strips on the back of the mirrors and stick them to the wall one by one..
Ima kind of nervous to take the mirror down because I don't wanna break any but I used long velcro strips 4 of them one of each corner
That's amazing.. I had the same idea but I wasn't sure if I could remove the frames from the mirrors and if so, I didnt know how I would even do it!!! Thanks, this video was exactly what I was looking for!!!
Thank u!!! i was nervous lol... my advice would be if u take the frames off a heating gun maybe better n the blow dryer took way too long I accidentally broke a couple n had to find more 😅
The hot water works great to get the paper off. But I got my mirrors from target and they also use thick white glue to hold the frames on. In which that's how I keep breaking mines. Does Walmart have thick white glue holding on frames?
Very creative I like 👍🏽
Dif you put anything around the mirrors to protect from cutting hands?
Thank you so much for making this video...I've literally been thinking about doing something like this for a couple of days now.
Okay I been wanting to do this for a hot minute but With putting 3 mirrors together will the cracks/spaces make mirror pictures look weird?
You can get mirrors like that at hobby lobby or home depot.....that doesn't have anything on or around them
Ugh should’ve seen this comment 10 minutes ago when I was at Walmart
That is true but Walmart ones are still nice as well... you can even get them at target anywhere really
They’re more expensive though aren’t they
@@briannaramos6677 I'm not sure how much they are anywhere else... but there 7 dollars a piece at Walmart I had gotten 4 of them
@@ravensyymone9999 yes I already have one from Walmart so I’ll just get 2 or 3 more lol!
Have the mirrors fallen off since? I am curious how the command strips held
I tried this yesterday and i didn't know nothing bout the blow dryer hack *thanks for that* but I did use pliers for the corners
Heating gun works even better I just didn't have one at the time
Girl i thought you were going to stab your hand. I was saying please no please no please no then whew after you were done but thanks for this tutorial.
I’ve broken 4 mirrors doing this so thank you for this damn tutorial girl 😭🖤
Did the tutorial help
@@ravensyymone9999 yes but my dumb ass used gorilla double sided tape and not mounting tape. So I’m buying mounting tape today because I’m putting 5 mirrors on the wall behind my bed with the led lights around them. Not tryna die lmao. But it definitely helped. Using the pocket knife instead of scissors as well as the blow dryer! Who would’ve thought. Even removing the staples helps but I found if you just use the blow dryer you can crack the frame as you go. Thank you so much for this video! If I show the finish product in a vlog I’ll link your video for sure!
@@itsboujeemane I made a mistake n broke 2 mirrors by putting them on the floor to take the frame off bad idea lol but command strip the long kind works great... I will post a update video on it
I jus broke one and cut myself. About to try the hot water
Damm that's 28 years of bad luck
How do you wrap the lights around the mirror? The right angles & stuff lol
Followed the outline of the edges of the mirror but bent it jus a lil at the corners so it would curve
Thanks ❤️❤️😍🙏🏾
Great video !
Will it damage the walls after you take them out ?
No... my boyfriend made 1 n moved it to another location just have to be careful when u take it down
I got all 6 out of the frame without breaking them thanks to ur vid 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤
U did better than me lol 😆
I wonder if goo gone would help with the glue. There’s a version specifically for glue removal but ive never tried it before
Not sure
Yes. It does. Sorry, I’m late lol
Smart ! Thanks for the idea I liked ❤️
Thank u... ur welcome good luck
I feel that the edges of these mirrors would be sharp, isn't it? Usually edges of the frameless mirrors are polished. Since this once comes housed in the frame, the edges wouldn't be polished. How do you handle that? With my 3 years old kid in the home, it's very dangerous to keep those edges open without any protection.
No its wasn't sharp.... so worth it
Thanks soo much. I removed the corners first and the Borders just came right off
I love this idea. I tried it but it didnt work for me. One mirror cracked& i gave up taking the frames off. But easier way to remove the paper is spraying water on the paper.
I broke 2 I believe but I had to keep going lol its easier to use a heat gun to take the frames off I realizes it when mine was already done
@@ravensyymone9999 i just tried again WITH a blow dryer and im so happy. i didnt break any. i was literally sooo happy.
I'm glad it worked out for you ...
Yeaaa you did that‼️
Thank u 🥰🥰
Love this video ! Thank you! Question: these mirrors are thin, do they move when slamming a door or jumping? And do you recommend this while having kids in the house?
Thank u.. with the command strips on all the sides it haven't even moved not even a little
I believe they are fine around kids unless you have future baseball n basketball players lol
So dope girl ! Thanks for sharing
Thank u so much 😁😁
Did you put the lights directly on the mirror?
Yes
@@ravensyymone9999 Thanks, I was gonna mount a frameless full body mirror on the wall and didn't know if putting the lights directly on the mirror, would be too bright or if I should use diffuser strips
I think putting the lights on the mirror comes on nice and you know it's there but not too noticeable
But anyway that works for u should be fine 🙂
@@ravensyymone9999 Thanks for your help. I'm going to put it all together and surprise my gf ❤️
Awww that's sweet and your welcome
Currently taking the borders off my 4 mirrors😭😭
Good luck
@@ravensyymone9999 all I have to do is find a way to hand them and none broke 🤣I’m surprised I was being a bit rough with them
same!!
Can u post link to Amazon LED strips ?
www.amazon.com/dp/B085HDXNH7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_1075RFJGD0ZMJ4XJWF0A?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Thats the 32 inch one I have but I ended up only using 1

This one is the 16.4 jus depends on how many mirrors u use
do you put the led lights on the mirror or on the wall
Mine were put on the mirrors but it can be either way
How long did it take you to take them out? And to finish in total? 😊
Felt like forever lol 😆 I accidentally broke 2 so honestly I don't remember but if u have the right heating tool won't take long
what kind of command strips did you use?
The large velcro kind
How did u guys hang them🥰
Long command strips
Can you use target mirrors?
I dont see y not ...
No it is way too hard. You'll just end up with broken mirrors. Stick with the Walmart ones they use less hot glue so it is easier to come off
How long were the lights?
16.4
Has it fell ?
No... haven't moved at all
has it fell ?
Nope... haven't moved
I'll post a update video sometime this week
@@ravensyymone9999 thank you so much !
No problem
I like that. I’m copying you honey
Thank you... 😊 you will love it ... I would say if you have a heating gun it would make it so much easier to take the frames off I didn't have 1 lol
I did same thing it broke rip 💀
I used those strips and immune wouldn’t stick wtf
How many did u use ...
Also it can help if u put a dot of super glue to the strip .. I didn't put none on mine but it still can help for more security
@@ravensyymone9999 I used 4 link strips on one and it stayed for a few hours then it fell. But I didn’t put it on each corner so that could’ve been the problem too
Yes all 4 corners will work... mine haven't moved
@@ravensyymone9999 okay thank you❤️
You just rumbled n talked nonsense... COULDN'T YOU JUST SHOW HOW YOU CAME ABOUT IT?!!!
