how to do a decro mirror piece
If an antique platter or plate is scratched, cracked/ broken, its patterned border can be used as the decorative frame for a mirror. If the platter or plate is split into several pieces, glue them together and allow them to dry. A round plate, you may find a circular mirror. If the platter is an unusual size or shape, have a professional glass cutter use your template to custom-cut a mirror. Request a polished edge, which is safer to handle.
For braided trim around the glass, attach pillow piping. To attach the mirror glass to the platter permanently, use ceramic epoxy. Apply epoxy to the back of the mirror in a big X from side to side and in a thin line just within the perimeter. Press the mirror onto the platter. The epoxy must be dry before you hang the finished mirror. If you'd like to be able to remove the mirror in the future, use mounting tape instead of glue. u can mount the framed mirror on the wall using a plate hanger of the appropriate size or ribbons.
