I made these mirrors for my grandaughters to use either as a wall mirror or dresser mirror. I purchased the mirrors 20×24 beveled edges from Lowes. I then ripped some 1x pine 1 1/2 inches. I dadoed the edge the thickness of the mirror 1/4 inch in. I made a tounge and grove joint for the corners. I then took a 6 inch piece of 1x pine and drew the arcs with a compass and then cut with my scrollsaw. The name was cut from 1/4 inch maple with my scrollsaw using a font (palace script) from microsoft word. The finish was a country white stain with the lettering painted and overlayed. I then cut the feet supports from 1x pine with the scrollsaw and also cut a hanging slot in the back with my router. The mirror was covered on the back with luan plywood and also stained country white.
