Simple Problem, but Google didn't help...

terrier3 · ‎03-10-2010

I bought a frame at an estate sale several weeks ago. It is carved wood and features acorns and oak leaves...my fall favorites.

I want to turn it into a mirror, but don't know where to go to buy mirror glass. I would REALLY like the mirror to be beveled, if possible...but will settle for a plain mirror.

When I googled "mirror glass" - all I get are auto glass places.

TIA!

Try Googling ""glass company"". I did that and our local glass and mirror companies showed up.

Lots and lots of places come up to buy beveled mirrored glass for crafts but have you tried locally? At the craft stores? Hobby Lobby and places like that sell them on line, same with Ebay and lots of others. But seeing and buying one in person locally would be so much easier.

terrier: You need to google mirror glass and your area.

Buffalo Picture Frame and Mirror is one that came up.

Some stained glass supply sites also sell mirrored glass.

This store is right by Trader Joes and the best donuts in the world (my client) - Paula's Donuts. She always gives me a free dozen...even when I try to refuse.

Road Trip!!!!

Lol. I was going to suggest the good ole yellow pages (the ones with the paper phone book) but looks like you found the place you want. Congrats!

Me, too! With or without pumpkins mixed in.

I bought a nut dish just because it had an acorn on it...a squirrel was holding it. I told myself I wouldn't buy anymore trinket stuff, but I couldn't resist.

Your mirror is going to look very nice.

An acorn AND a squirrel....be still my heart!!!!

I'm not a donut person myself but you enjoy with some Trader Joe's coffee.
