DIY: Light Up Beauty Mirror 

Great job with that mirror video. I know a lot of custom automotive restoration uses walnut to blast their cars down to the metal rather than using sand. Sand creates small pockets whereas walnut leaves a cleaner finish.

I have been trying to figure out how to create that modern strip of frosted glass and was going through the route of either buying some toxic chemical to de-mirror it or purchase the mirror already with the frosted strip. The lesser expensive option was going to be a lot more work. This is the only video showing this method and it’s I’m not only cheap but you end up de-mirroring and frosting it at the same time! You are a life saver! Thank you for posting this!

Thanks for sharing such an Awesome project. Can you please share What brand glue you used for sticking the Mirror to wooden frame.

Great job!

What type of tape did you use to have a perfect line ?

Thanks for the info. Did you hardwire it?

Great job with the mirror but I would of made the leds accessible from the back. Eventually the leds will burnout. Personally I would of put a piece of sheet metal behind the leds as well, that would give a longer life to the leds and keep them cooled down.

great project.. what happens when the led light stops working? would there be a way to fix that or would it just stop working for good?

Love it ! Quick question! How did you hang it ? What did you add to the back ?

Your project looks great! I have a question. Is your wife satisfied about how much light she has to clearly see people's face during work time? I'm doing my photography studio decoration this month and thinking about trying this. Thanks in advance, great video!

usually on/off using soft-touch button

Thanks for the video Alex, Quick question how much psi shoudl i set on the compressor for the job ?

When sand blasting did you have any trouble with tearing of the duct tape? I would think if the sand could chip the reflective surface of the mirror it would also tear up the tape? I'm going to make this soon and thought about using double sided tape and wood to make the stencil but if the tape isn't an issue that seems like way less work

Its a great project. What kind of heavy duty silicon have you used ?

Is it really necessary to make it so deep when there are high density LED strips with good diffusers? Can't the LEDs be applied to the back of the glass?

Hi thank you so much for creating this video. I have a couple questions tho. Much sand did you end up using? What kind of tape did you use? And can you please link me to the pressure machine needed to get the gun working? Thank you. I’m trying to recreate this but on a much larger mirror.

So when sandblasting, you sandblasted the back of the mirror? Not the front (reflective side) right?

Did you guys buy the frame? If you made it yourself where did you get the wood? Last question lol is the wood supposed to be bigger, smaller or the same size as the mirror? I'm planing to build one for my fiancé who is a barber 💈 and I need help 😂 Love the video btw!

When you sandblasted did the clear or the frosted border look splotchy or not uniform? Thanks looks like you might’ve saved me a couple hundred thanks in advance and great work

Does the frame sit flush with the mirror on the bottom to make it stand like that ? Do you have any pictures of the back of the frame where it attaches to the mirror?

I still have a lot of splotchy spots and the sand blaster just won’t hit them to get that clean finish. Did you use a sanding sponge or anything after to finish it off to get it to be so clear? The way yours looks right before you power the LEDS is so perfect

This is the video I was looking for but the idea of sand blasting is not workable for me since renting or buying the equipment will be costly. Thanks for the video though. I am thinking of it differently; having a slimmer mirror frame that will house the light in front while the mirror remains intact (no transparent surfaces

Hi alex For sandblasting process, does it to do at reflection mirror (reflective side) or at the back ?

Im in Jamaica so im asking could a use a frost spray to make it ? If so can someone send me the name of the right spray to buy on eBay

Hi what paint finish did you use? Semi hloss or flat white?

So what mirror did you get initially? I’m confused because it looks like you just got a mirror with the reflective mirror, does it just look like one of those when it has the duct tape on? But otherwise I think it’s a great vid and really helpful!

Omg I want one lol

Hi please i want to do some but I want know if they have some specific sand for the sand blasting or I can use any sand..I look forward for you to reply me thank you...

What is the thickness of mirror glass please answer

What do you do to change the lights when they go out

these are a huge thing atm hope you patented yours

In india it would have cost $15 only

Can’t you just sand down the mirror?
