An arched mirror shaving cabinet can add a touch of elegance to any bathroom. To make your own, start with an old mirror that you no longer need. If you don't have an arched mirror, you can create the arch yourself by cutting a piece of wood into an arch shape and attaching it to the top of a rectangular mirror.Next, find a small cabinet that you can repurpose into a shaving cabinet. A vintage medicine cabinet is a great option for this project. Remove the door and any shelves from the cabinet, and paint it a color that matches your bathroom decor. Attach the cabinet to the bottom of the mirror, and you have a beautiful arched mirror shaving cabinet.

Circular Mirror Cabinet

If you prefer a round shaving cabinet, you can create your own using an old metal cake pan. Remove the handle from the cake pan and paint it a color that matches your bathroom decor. Next, attach a circular mirror to the bottom of the cake pan. You can use a mirror that you already have, or purchase one from a craft store. To attach the mirror to the cake pan, use a strong adhesive, such as epoxy or silicone glue. Once the glue has dried, you can attach the cake pan to the wall using mounting hardware.
