I used to make a nice wooden frame that fit snugly into the metal frame and then just use brads or small screws thru predrilled holes in the frame, the frames were just square with scroll work around the outside. and I covered the mirror with two layers of 2 inch masking tape, one cross ways and one up and down and then cut out a desing with a razor knife and bead blasted the design carefully, then removed the tape and cleaned the mirror. Presentation mirrors for different Local Organizations.
Also used to make trophies for different organizations, ie: an old piston with one place melted off at the top on a wood base for hard luck trophy for car club, etc.
