Wall Mirror Jewelry Storage | DIY | Home Decor

What'S up guys, i'm amanda with designs by AI, and i just need to know where my alma unorganized beeps at because i know i'm not the only one in this video i'm gon na show you how I built a bowling wall mirror jewelry case. It has a lot of words, but you'll see what I mean. I'Ve been wanting to build this jewelry case for a really long time I mean like. I have not a ton of jewelry but enough to be disorganized with it. I mean I was using tire racks for my from my necklaces and six different drawers with earrings in them. I could never keep up with any of my stuff and I finally got around to building this I'm so happy. I did because that now everything is in one place success, so if y'all are ready, let's get started so to start off this build, I decided to take the mirror apart by taking off the back and breaking the frame apart carefully, not to break the mirror. I did this, so I could figure out the dimensions I would need for my lumber. Once I figured those dimensions out. I took it so the table saw and ripped down all the wood. I would need into one by threes and one by fours, [, Music, ], and next up after that was the miter saw. I have this really cool, stop track on my minor saw station. That makes it really easy to cut down multiple pieces of wood to the same length. Do not fear, though, if you don't have one, it's really easy. All you need is a scrap piece of wood and a clamp make sure you have your tape measure flush up against your blade figure out, where your link needs to be clamp that sucker down and you're good to go. You can cut as many pieces of wood as you need to just using those two things now when I'm cutting down wood, I always cut off the ends, even if I buy them from a hardware store and they look square, I always put them off you're. Never really sure if they are, I've learned the hard way that, even if it looks square doesn't mean it is so cut off. Them is, and once I had all my wood cut down to size that took to the Kreg jig and grew up all them pocket holes like the clamp mine down to get everything, flush and perfect so that there are no between the pieces of wood just clamp. It glue it screw it [, Music ] bam, bam bam. My frame for my mirror is together once I got that all done. I routed it out. I did this in three passes, only taking off an eighth of an inch each. The last pass, though, I had to lift it up off the table using scrap wood, so that my router bit would go that deep. It worked beautifully. I ended up doing it this deep so that there would be enough room for the mirror and the quarter-inch backer board that I was using for this project. I also wanted a little bit of wiggle room for the flex points that I was gon na use and if y'all don't know what flex points are there, those tabs on the back of picture frames that you can bend to take out the glass and put stuff In and I did it this way so that if I ever break the mirror, it'll be really easy to replace. I have this neat attachment for the Kreg jig that I used to drill plugs to pluck my holes. Then you take it to the miter, saw cut it down and they pop right out like butter once you do that there I throw some glue in pop in those plugs, wait for them to dry and then sand them down. Well, I was waiting for the glue to dry. I pulled out my sides for the inside of the jewelry box and figured out my measurements of where I wanted to put my dowels for the earring holder, and I have this felt box that will hold my stud earrings and I had to figure out where exactly I wanted that inside the box pieces that I'm gon na use for my necklaces, I measured everything an inch apart so that I can maximize the number of necklaces that I could put on this bad boy. I guess I should say hooks is that, what's going on there once I was done with all that I took it to the drill press, this guy and drilled all of my holes where my dowels, I set up a stop for my jewelry hooks, so that everything Would be consistently drilled, it was super easy to do.  https://felixfurniture.com/home-decorate-ideas/  did it with like two spring clamps and a scrap piece of wood. I wanted the holes to be in the middle, so that's how I set this up and it made it super easy to drill. Fifty-Two. Bowls and after that, I glued and screwed my top and bottom pieces then glued and put my dowels into place. Putting on the other piece, though, with a little bit difficult because those dowels it's not want to do it easy, but I got it done and it fits perfectly dry fit this first just to make sure, but once I did that it was off to the races. Next, you want to put your back piece on I'm going to do this, while I was doing the top and bottom but completely forgotten. You do need this piece because yeah you use it to screw it to the wall and, let's not forget that one thing every woodworker loves to do and that sanding folks in sanding and sanding sanding. Oh wait in more sanding, yes, and once I was done sanding. It was time for me to figure out where this felt box was gon na go, I kind of had it marked, but I wanted to make sure it looked right. So I put the back on loosely. I did not know what them I like to remove the stain, but I marked my places where I wanted everything to go so that when I moved it, I knew exactly where to put it back, then all it was was a little bit of glue and a Little bit of Bale's tack it into place, and I used a speed square to make sure everything was perfectly square. That guy is my best friend when it comes to stuff, like that. I wanted this to be snug, so having it square was crucial. Oh yeah, like a love to hide the plywood seams, I decided to trim it out with some scrap quarter-inch-thick stock that I had on hand. So I measured everything out and cut everything down to size once I had it cut. It was time for a little bit of glue. I did a combo of wood glue and this fast drying glue, bye, dad I love it. All I had to do was hold it down for a few seconds to make sure it had appeared, and it was done. I did end up lifting it up taking that box out and clamping everything down just to make sure, but that fast drying glue was awesome and once the glue had set, I removed the clamps and it was time to get everything stained [, Music, ], I've. Let the stain cure overnight polyurethane didn't once that was all done. It was time to add these 1 gazillion hooks. If anybody knows a quick and easy way to do this, that doesn't damage the metal. Please let me know, I tried wrapping pliers and some cloth wrapping pliers with some foam. I mean they worked, ok, but they weren't great. So please drop me a comment and let me know if you know a better way: [, Music, ] success and the last steps we're adding these finishing touches. I love these inset hinges, putting the mirror in place, adding the back and then getting everything ready for the jewelry. Oh man, isn't it gorgeous [ Music ]? You you
