I am looking to custom fit a mirror into a large oval open picture frame, from here I will use this mirror to hang infront of the buffet and place it as a large menu preview for all of our guests to see what's for dinner!

Has anyone here ever cut mirrored glass before? I don't want to go with a chalkboard as they get messy and it's just not the clean, crisp look we want to use for our theme.

I don't know how easy something like this is and just how long it would take, or if it's even worth it?

Any alternative ideas would be much appreciated. Embarassed

Hobby Lobby has half off sales on their mirrors all the time.  You could probably pick one up already there for a good price, possibly less than what someone would charge for cutting a custom piece of mirror.  Good luck!
