What can you do with broken mirror shards?
One of the best ways to make use of broken shards of mirror is to create a mosaic surface out of it. If you fancy craft ideas and would like to imply it in your home decor, you can use coloured tiles along with broken mirror pieces as a table top or a wall panel. You can also make a glass mosaic in dark rooms where there is very little sunlight.
What can you do with antique mirrors?

Frame decoration:
Usually most of us use large plain mirrors for home decoration. To make it more attractive you can decorate the frames of the mirrors with colourful seashells, sea glass and driftwood. This will create a seaside charm to your interiors.

Mirror decoration in uncommon places:
Get creative and decorate the walls of dark closets, pantries and cupboards to make them bright using mirrors.

You can also use mirrors on a dining table and ceiling surfaces.
Mirrors in your garden:
Create a magical effect in your garden by using mirrors of all shapes and sizes. Place large rectangular shaped mirrors on the walls in your garden. Creating a path towards the mirror heightens the effect and dull walls in your garden can be livened up.
