Surely around the house you have materials that you kept “just in case” and that until now you were thinking of throwing away because “they are useless.” Well, their time has come... Pieces of wood, cardboard, pieces of rope, or many other things can help you create a spectacular design. Also, with this you will be able to give a new use to those materials, contributing your bit to the environment.

Shapes with PVC tubes
If you have any PVC tube around the house that you don't use, it doesn't matter if it's just a piece, you will be able to give it a new use.
Cut the tube into several pieces between 1 and 2 centimeters long. These rings that you get you can place them around the mirror to decorate it. It works better with round mirrors, however, if you are creative, you can do wonders even with a square mirror.
If necessary, you can paint the PVC rings to better match the color of the wall. You can even make a background shape and fix the mirror on it, so let your imagination run wild and achieve a wonderful decoration.
Background with recycled wood
Surely at home you have some wood, whether from an old door, some fence, an old table, or any other type. You can take a piece and cut it into a nice shape. For example, if the mirror is round, a hexagonal shape can be an option quite unique.
This combination will give the mirror a more rustic, ideal if you are looking for a bathroom of style vintage. You can stick it directly to the wall or hang it with some ropes or chains to enhance this rustic style you are looking for.
A frame with plastic spoons
After a party, it is likely that dozens of plastic spoons end up in the trash, but… why not give them a new use? You would be surprised what you can achieve with just a few plastic spoons.
Use them to create an original frame for your bathroom mirror. You can placing them together making the flower petal effect. Of course, this works much better with round mirrors.
You can also paint the spoons to give a little color to your frame, however, it is not necessary. Of course, this will depend on the rest of the decoration and the color of your bathroom walls.
Mirror frame with ropes
Ropes are a material that is usually very easy to find and probably gets very little use. However, with this idea you will be able to give those ropes you have at home a new life.
The process is really simple. You will only need some old ropes you have around the house and do not use. Once you have them, you will have to wrap them around the edge of the mirror making a frame. You should use glue so that these can stick together.
This works with both round and square mirrors and is ideal for those bathrooms with rustic look. Even, if you wish, you will be able to paint the ropes, so that you have a color that matches better with the bathroom.
Frames with popsicle sticks
Popsicle sticks are a quite economical and interesting way to decorate your bathroom mirror bathroom with recycled materials, since you can find them in any store. Even if you have some popsicle sticks for house (something common if you have school-age children) you can also take advantage of them. By the way! Surprise them with these recycled toy ideas so fun and original that you can make them together with them.
Place the sticks around the glass giving them different shapes. If you have a round mirror, you can place them simulating that it is a sun. There are several ways you can shape them and there are a lot of really interesting tutorials on the internet.
Frames with plastic flowers
Plastic flowers are also a very good alternative to achieve a quite a flower frame pretty and made with recycled materials.
The flowers are simple, but they can really give your bathroom a beautiful touch. If you have some plastic flowers that you are going to throw away, think twice before doing so, since you will be able to give them a new life. On the other hand, if you are a craft lover you can create your own flowers with recycled plastic.

Use colorful flowers that match the rest of the bathroom, but at the same time are eye-catching. This will make the decoration stand out, but also look good integrated with the style of the bathroom.
Frames with artificial grass
Have you placed artificial grass in your garden and you have some leftover pieces? Give them a new use and use them as part of the decoration of your bathroom mirror.
You can place it around the mirror, so that it gives the impression that the mirror is embedded in the grass. Depending on the amount of grass you have, you can make different shapes that are really interesting.
Pallet decoration
The pallet wood it is easy to find, but best of all is that it is very economical. With this wood you can make real wonders, since it is light, durable and it already comes cut into pieces of the same size and width.
