Then to make rustic mirrors, clean the glass panel using isopropyl alcohol. Moisten a soft cloth or paper towel in isopropyl alcohol and then rub on both sides of the glass.

It is best to do this work outdoors, but a large room with open windows is also a good alternative. Place something, such as newspaper or a cheap plastic tablecloth, under the glass to protect the work surface.
