Another helpful hit!! Get the ones with the black backing! Not the White.
Oh! I didn’t even know there was a white backed one… I’m going to pin your comment to the top. Definitely want to buy the black backed one. Thank you for chiming in.
I could've used this video last week before replacing my builder grade mirror! GREAT idea and I will keep it in my back pocket for future use!
Bummer!! Good to have a backup plan! Thank you for watching!
Thank you….my bathroom have mirrors on 3 walls. I hate them. But now after seeing this I can easily make it look modern and artistic. Thank you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💙
That’s great!! I’m sure it will elevate them for sure 😍
This Fix saved us such a pain removing and replacing 2x large 6' x 42" mirrors. Went to Home Depot near Vancouver and purchased 5 stick on tiles and cut 2 rows of pattern as you did. Cost $12/tile; actually looks amazing and did in 1 hour. So glad I found your video ... thank you for posting!
Oh wonderful!! I’m so happy to hear that this worked for you. Thank you for sharing your success story 🎉🎉🎉
Did they stay on?
I wonder if your bathroom gets too steamy if they will fall off?
@@ThingsILove2266 oh yea, lol! Not easy to remove and still love the look. I don’t like cheap looking and looks great too 👍
Hello there! In my experience, once it’s on, it’s on. The back has a really strong adhesive on the back of it. That is why you have to make sure about placement before pressing down. 😅
So glad I came across this video. I’m just about to get started on my master bath in my 30 year old house. We’re not trying to gut everything and start over, just freshen up and clean up. This will be a huge help for my mirrors. Thanks for this great idea!
So happy I could help! This idea was why I started this channel. Got to help each other! Have fun updating your bathroom!
This is the best simplest mirror project and the look is on point
Thank you! It made a big difference for me.
Absolutely love what you did here. You gave me an idea for my mirror in my bathroom. Thanks for your video. Looks so easy. 🤗
Thank you so much! I’m sure your mirror will look great when you are done with it!
Really pretty! I wouldn't have thought of this just love it, so smart.
As they say… Necessity is the mother of invention 😅
This is great, I just ordered peel & stick backsplash tile so I can do this to my bathroom mirror. Thank you!! 👍🏾
Nice!! I’m sure you will love it!
Thank you. I just did this in my bathroom. It was easy and looks great.
Wow! Love hearing that you did it and love the results! Thank you for letting me know 🙂
Wow - what an awesome idea! I was going to build and stain a frame, but I might do this on one of the bathrooms. Thanks!
Wonderful! It is, honestly, fast and easy. Hope it’s a great solution for you!
This is such a great idea , thank you for sharing how to fix this very common problem with mirrors and make them look new and beautiful again !
Thank you!! Necessity is the mother of invention 😅 Appreciate your support! 🙏🏼❤️
Looks great.I had the same mirror and the same crack as you, in the same spot lol...this is a great alternative to the "make a frame kit"...that sells for a couple of hundred bucks that is pre-cut with an adhesive back that you assemble and press to the mirror...this is a much more affordable and decent look too. Thank you. Keep up the great work. Tom
Thank you! The cost point to fix this in the traditional way was my inspiration to finding a cheaper/better solution. Appreciate the feedback and being able to relate to this fix!
Super easy. Going to look up tile options thanks!
Wishing you success with your project!
Hey, that is a really neat idea! Definitely solved my mirror issues. Thanks for sharing
Wonderful! That’s why I made this video. Hope you love it like I do 😍
Wonderful mirror idea!!!
Thank You 😊
The tile you chose really was excellent. Thanks for posting.
Thank you 😍
Looks really nice!
Thank you!
Thank you for a great video! really helpful I did mirrors in both bathrooms and they came out great!
That’s wonderful! I’m glad it was a great solution for you 😍
I have just the right mirror for this project. Thanks!
Great!! I’m sure it will look great once you finish 🙌🏼💕
Enjoy!! ☺️
Sweet idea!
Works wonders
Beautiful idea!
Thank you! Appreciate your watching!
I actually love this idea. Wish I would have thought about this before.
You never know when you might be able to use it still 😉 Thank you for your support ❤️❤️
Thanks Tammy. What a great idea. X
Hope it helps! 💗
This is a wonderful idea. I'm trying this instead of wood framing.
Happy projecting!! Hope you love the results like I do 😍
This is awesome my new apartment has a big old mirror on the restroom wall around the edges I can’t wait to do this asap
Wonderful! I’m sure it will look 100 times better when you finish. Thanks for watching!
Love the idea. Definitely will try this❤
Thank you! Much success on your project ☺️
Beautiful idea
Thank you!
Thanks for the idea!! Was great!!
Awesome! Hope it helps with your mirror 😍🙌🏼
Awesomeness!
Thank you ☺️🙏🏼
Thank you.
Wow! I like! Thanks for sharing, This has lowered my anxiety
Wonderful!! Wishing you much success in your project!
Thank you, you gave me an idea. I have left over tiles with combination of marble and metal. I can use that to frame my bathroom mirror
Nice! I wish you the best with your project 😍
great idea
Thank You 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you, I’ll try it 😊
Wishing you the best with your project! 😍
Very nice!!❤️
Thank you ☺️
Great job thasr great tips
Thank you so very much Donna 🥰❤️🫶🏼
Love this idea! I may use this but instead of a single row I might cut them so that there are two rows to give a little more framing structure/aesthetic.
Yes! Great idea. Much success on your project 😊
I literally just bought this product yesterday. I was thinking about doing it 3 thick to look like a thicker frame. Thanks for the video!
Nice!! Works great!
Actually it’s Jennifer! Looks great!
Thank you! You found me 😊
Cute... I prefer the trimming to be a little wider. I probably would have done 2-3strips... Cute, really cute!!!!
Thank you so much! Two or three rows would definitely look great too. Thanks for watching!
Thankyou
🙌🏼🫶🏼👍🏼
Thanks Tammy! I was about to call a glass company to cut down the mirrors to get rid of the areas that lost the silver. Your method will be cheaper faster and look better! Looks like our local Lowes has the tile in stock.
Wonderful! I’m glad you can save some bucks and time scheduling to have that done as well 😍🙌🏼
@@TammysHomeTips I went to Harbor Freight and bought a Pittsburgh 10inch Heavy Duty End Nipper #38496 $9.99. It does a fast neat cutting of the stainless steel pieces to finish the corners. It makes it so easy to trim the pieces to get them to fit. Much easier than an angle grinder or hack saw.
I was also able to just put the pieces over the thin metel mirror hangers without having to remove them.
That’s perfect for the best finish!! Thank you for sharing these details 🙏🏼🙏🏼
What's the name of the tile?
Nice😊
Thank you!
Yes!!! How do you go around the mirror clips????
Okay, so, I did a little investigating and if you have a second person to help, you can back the mirror clips out, one at a time, and place the strip behind it before screwing it back in again. You would have to be a lot more careful with this option though.
I actually used this and created a 3D look, and it turned out fantastic. People think I bought a new mirror.
Awesome!! Love it when we can make something old new again 😍
On my way to lowes. Thank you
Hope it’s the perfect solution for you!!
If they don’t have it in the store, you should be able to find it online.
@@TammysHomeTips can you please share an online link for this?
@@Hershea1 I'm thinking of buying this from Lowe's. Any recommendations? www.lowes.com/pd/Peel-Stick-Mosaics-Peel-and-Stick-Stainless-Block-12-in-x-12-in-Metallic-Metal-Linear-Mosaic-Tile/1000398103
Girl u all that! 👏
All that and a box of nails 😂 Thank you!!
Great idea! I'm wondering if it would work for my two door mirrored medicine cabinet. It has no frame, clips, or pulls. Hence we open it by grasping the bottom edge. And of course over time those place at the bottom edges oxydize and blacken. Each spot is an inch or so long. Obviously I could do this - placing tile strips to stop at center edge of each door. But am wondering if the strips themselves would then oxydize in same places (since there are no pulls). Previously I had thought of framing it all somehow. Don't want to replace cabinet, and it doesn't look like replacing the glass is possible.....
You could buy one tile, cut a strip off and see how the placement would be before removing the backing and adhering it to the medicine cabinet. Each tile costs about $11 so it is an affordable experiment at least 🙃
I can do that. Thanks
Yes, it’s actually quite simple. Wish your the best on your project!
I have a large mirror like this and have been trying to find a solution to frame it. We just remodeled our bathroom and added a vanity and sink to the other side for me and my mirror is trimmed in a metal. This solution will be perfect for me thanks
Great! Hope it worked out!
Great video and Idea ! I need to do this on my bathroom mirror, Thanks for sharing !! 💗🌟👍
Glad you liked the idea! Hope it works well for your needs.
This is beautiful. What do you do if you have those clips holding the mirror on?
I had this scenario in my house prior to this one. It was the kind you could screw out. In that case, I purchased new clips from Ace’s and removed and replaced each one, one at a time. My husband made sure that the mirror didn’t shift while I was doing this. Also, be sure not to screw it in too aggressively or the pressure could crack the mirror. Hope this helps!
I have watched several of these videos. Another person used an extra adhesive for longer, stronger hold. Do you think that is necessary? It’s in the humid bathroom and I’m also planning to go with 3 strips, all the way around. You definitely make it look easy. What are your thoughts on the extra adhesive? TFS!
These definitely do not need extra adhesive. In fact, make sure you lay it out first before you remove the adhesive because it’s a permanent solution. Wishing you success on your project!! 🙂
I didn't think I would like the finish look but I actually did -- as long as the squares fit. How long does the peel last with steam?
Thanks for the question. Once you put it on it’s not going anywhere. Also, the squares can be cut with household scissors 🙂
Great video ! I wonder if your mirror has clips. Any idea how to overcome them ?
Actually, my previous place had clips and I bought new ones and replaced them as I went along… It’s a good idea to have someone there to help you just to make sure there’s no mishaps. Oh, and don’t screw them in too tightly when you replace them or you will crack the mirror.
just add clear caulk and is my suggestion to keep water from getting behind the tiles.
Thank you for that idea. I am now excited to go look for peel and stick on tiles to put on the mirror. I went yesterday to Michael's and they were going to charge $560 for just the frame pieces to go over. Nah I love your idea the best!
But I notice there are clips holding the top of the mirror can I remove that or how do I go around that?
I’m so glad this will help! It depends on if the clips are flat against the mirror or are the type that protrude out. If they protrude out, you might have a second person hold the mirror so you can back the clips out temporarily and you can place the tiles behind it and screw then back in. I have done this in a previous home.
@@TammysHomeTips thank you for your reply! I have the one that pertrudes out. And I noticed on the bottom of the mirror it has a lengthy silver metal all across the mirror as if it is working as a clip but it is flat so hopefully the tile will sit flat over top of it. 🤔
You could try laying a strip on top of it before you remove the strip off of the adhesive
@@TammysHomeTips perfect! Thank you so much!
How is it holding up with the steam and moisture from the shower?
Thank you for watching! I haven’t had any issues and this is the second home I have done this on. Once it’s on - it’s on. Hope this helps!
I really like the idea. My tile has white tape so I’m looking for something hide the white tape.
I hope this will work for you!!
I have this same issue. Did you find a solution?
@@HelenBKennedy I applied a very thin strip of caulk. Careful!
I'm gonna try this. Be back with an update
Looking forward to your update! 😍
I did it and I love it@@TammysHomeTips I made the mistake of buying the peel and stick tiles from Amazon. The foam backing on those tiles was too thick. I removed them and bought the ones from Lowes and it turned out great.
@roseiswine8294 Okay, glad it turned out well! I had used the one from Lowe’s myself. Didn’t realize there were so many different ones out there. Thankfully your project came out well. Thank you for sharing!
Great tips, but how do you put the stick on over the mirror holders?
Thank you for the question. That is more challenging for sure. I had that situation in a previous home and had to, with help, replace them one at a time with a new one. It depends on the kind that you have, of course. I just bought new ones. Just be sure to not over tighten or you will crack the mirror.
What if the mirror has those mirror clips at the top?
So I did a little investigation and, if you have a second person to help, you could back the clips out one at a time and place the strip behind the clip before screwing it back in. It can be done but with a lot more care.
Great! What is the name of this specific tile?
Thank you! It doesn’t seem to have a name per se but if you type Peel & Stick Mosaics in your search it should show up in the LOWE’s store.
Where did you get the stick on mirrors? Thanks. Joy
Hi Joy! I actually got it at Lowe’s. You can check online if they have it before you go.
@@TammysHomeTips> What pattern is the one you used in this video?
@@margaretdurney7295 www.lowes.com/pd/Peel-Stick-Mosaics-Peel-and-Stick-Stainless-Block-12-in-x-12-in-Metallic-Metal-Linear-Mosaic-Tile/1000398103
Great video! I would love to do this but what about the clear “clips” that are holding the mirror?
I had the same issue in my previous home. I recommend having a second person there if that’s the case. You can remove and replace them with new ones one at a time just make sure not to screw them in too tightly so you don’t crack the mirror. You can find the replacements online or at a hardware store.
Did you remove them🤔
I actually did but my husband helped me replace them. You would remove one at a time. Place the framing strip and then go back with a new clip in the same spot. Mine were resting on the clips so my husband made sure to support the mirror while I went through the process. It worked fine for me.” this way. But I wouldn’t have done this without help.
@@TammysHomeTips Awesome!!!! Doing it this weekend. I was going to do Mirror Mates, but it’s a little pricey. I’ve watched a ton of videos on this, I like your method! Thanks
My mirror has the mirror clips. How would I work around the clips?
If they are the flat metal clips you can go right over them but the larger clear plastic ones you can loosen one at a time and slip that one piece behind it then tighten it again before you move on to the next one. Just be sure not to over tighten the clip so you don’t crack the mirror. I have done this several times without issues.
How many 12x12 squares did you use?
I used just about 2 and it’s a fairly large mirror. The style I used with one row thick will cover 12 linear feet. Hope this helps!
Hello from A Day!
Hi Kim (A Day)!! I’ll post something again soon!
Hi Kim! Hope you are doing well! 💐
Can these be removed? I looking to jazz up a mirror in a rental property.
I would say it’s a pretty permanent solution. Hope it’s a good fix for you!
I have looked for these at the home improvement store, but can only find it on-line.
It’s hard to know how long they will carry this in the stores. I was thinking that it’s something that will eventually only be able to be ordered online only. I’m hoping they will continue to sell an equivalent of this indefinitely somewhere.
What black beading ? Can you show it ?
Great question! I should have shown that more clearly. The backing is a black soft foam-like layer that has the adhesive on it. When you cut the strips apart, there might be small pieces of the foam-like backing that didn’t cut smoothly. It’s best to pull those little pieces off before adhering it to the mirror. It will make for a smoother finish.
I have mirror clips in a couple of places along the top of my mirror. I didn't see you have to adjust anything for clips so I assume your mirror didn't have any?
This mirror had no clips. However, I had done this in a previous place before and I just backed the clips out and put new ones in. Just do one at a time. Your scenario is better though. I had clips all around and it took two of us. Just be sure not to over tighten so you don’t crack the mirror.
what about if you have clips that arent flushed? how do you lay this
I had to do this before… You need to have a second person to help you and buy replacement clips. You would have to replace them one at a time but be sure not to screw it in too tightly or you could crack the mirror.
How many tiles did you buy for the entire mirror? Was it only one?
Sure! Here it is and I will put it in the description as well. 🙂 www.lowes.com/pd/Peel-Stick-Mosaics-Peel-and-Stick-Stainless-Block-12-in-x-12-in-Metallic-Metal-Linear-Mosaic-Tile/1000398103
Would this be easy to remove in a rental home?
Once it’s on, it’s on… Pretty hard to remove.
How many full pcs did u use? thanks
Thank you for the question! I needed 2 squares of the peal and stick. Hope you have fun with me project! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Where did you get that from? I’m looking at the vid with the sound down
I got the tile at Lowe’s a while back but it may or may not be available exclusively online now.. Not sure!
@@TammysHomeTips thank you I found them about three weeks ago. Lowe’s still had em and I put them up…..thanks for the video
Can I get a link to the strips you used?
Sure! www.lowes.com/pd/Peel-Stick-Mosaics-Peel-and-Stick-Stainless-Block-12-in-x-12-in-Metallic-Metal-Linear-Mosaic-Tile/1000398103
How do you cut the metal if the size doesn’t fit exactly?
The metal is actually soft and could be cut with scissors although there are also metal cutters that you could use for that as well.
@@TammysHomeTips Thanks so much Tammy!

Is your mirror beveled?
No, my mirror isn’t beveled… it might still work on a beveled mirror depending on how deep and wide the bevel is.
Frame? What frame? I’d have put 2 or 3 layers for the frame to really bring out the beauty of the whole mirror and not just a Bandaid fix with a teeny strip
That is absolutely an option as well. Glad this video inspired you. Thank you for sharing your viewpoint. 🙂
I liked what you did but I just wish you were able to zoom in some more on what you were doing. In other words, I think the videography needs improvement.
Thank you for the feedback. I dropped the ball on that. You can use the edge of the mirror as a guide for placement and even practice how you will place it before removing the backing. Thank you for sharing your constructive criticism 🙏🏼
Poor audio and poor video; I could barely tell what sshe was doing.
You are very correct. It was my first endeavor and I’m working on improving. I have a lot to learn still. Never thought so many people would see this video. Just glad it has helped people fix their mirror dilemma with some ideas and a little imagination 🤪🙏🏼 Appreciate your feedback though. I will keep working on it.
