Hi guys, thank you so much for watching my video. It was super fun making this because I did it all on my own. It was so much better doing a DIY vanity mirror with lights as oppose to shelling out hundreds of dollars. This is also a perfect idea for a fun project or maybe a birthday gift, wedding gift, or a just because gift. If you guys want more DIY videos or something different please let me know down below.

*There are other ways to wire this besides using an extension cord if you don’t feel comfortable using an extension cord. I filmed this video back in January and haven’t had any issues. I also make sure i keep it unplugged when I’m not using it. You can also install an on and off switch just make sure you know what you’re doing*

New videos are coming! Got the last piece of equipment I’ve been waiting for to film for better looking videos(posting this here since I can’t do community posts yet)
Hi, what is the link for the lights?
So you don’t brace it down to the wall
How many pieces of plywood did u need to have enough for this project? Thanks!
How did you put it on your vanity so it won't fall
Also the part that you forgot to record .. when putting the wood on the side you nailed the top together and the bottom together to have the wood stand up on both sides !
Can you add Bluetooth speaker?
quick question, how many nails would i need ?
Great Job!!
I just grabed the same lights from Home Depot the stripper copper wire ? Is that if someone wants to add a light dimmer I’m having trouble getting it to work
Great video, very detailed. Well I have 3 daughters, one has her own room and the other 2 share a room. One of them Saw your video and now I have to build 2 mirrors, LOL BUT that’s what dads do for their princesses. Right? ?. Just one question, what was the final measurements once it was completed?
Going to start building this for my girlfriend! Thanks for the very detailed video! I do have a a few questions? 1. When actually having the lights on do they hurt your eyes after a while? 18 bright bulbs would do that i’m assuming. Wanted to see if maybe adding a dimmer would be the right move. 2. What size table top do you have?! THANK YOU’
How did you get it to stand up alone
What kind of nails did you use? And the sizes of them?
Hi! What’s the total sizing of the whole vanity mirror?
Best video! Ty for taking the time to add detailed instructions. Made it so much easier to understand ❤️
Really good job. Can you do more DIY on pretty much anything ?
How much does the wood itself cost?
how many inches of space is left at the bottom after the mirror stops?
Girl you did that!
What if my cable wires don’t have smooth and ridged sides?
I bought these for my friends vanity & she absolutely loves them !㊙️>imgs.love/cVanityMirror?ьЮ Perfect size, not too big or too small. Super bright & adjustable (dimmable) to your preference. Just be careful when you adhere them because once it’s placed somewhere it’s pretty much permanent . I was a little off on placement when I put one of the bulbs down & I couldn’t readjust it. But that was ok , glad to see that those bulbs weren’t going to be falling anytime soon. I would definitely recommend !!!
My dad just made me this mirror just by watching your tutorial and it came out amazing! Thank you ?? I literally saved hundreds by having him make it for me lol
I loved this idea, so I went out and get all the supplies, but could not find the white light bars. They are no longer sold at Lowe's or home depot, do you possibly know where i can get them from? I've looked everywhere, and only see the metal 5 bulb ones and not the 6 bulb bars 🙁 Also, I love the white finish instead of chrome or metal.
Hi where did you get the plastic white covers at?
can you hang it on the wall or is it too heavy?
??
How did you get it to stand up ??
Im your fan Gigi!!!
How do u ground this?
To much work for me lol but amazing
The light bars say there 35$ on the Website how do you get it for 27
