What can I put on the corners of a standing mirror to protect the wall?

Submitted by talkingtimmy3 t3_120p744 in DIY

My standing mirror from Ross has sharp corners and it’s leaning against the wall catty corner which scratches up the wall over time. I am trying to think of something to protect the wall. I was buying Velcro strips for a different project maybe I can put the Velcro tape on each sharp corner? Is there a better idea out there?

Edit: thank you all soooo much for your ideas!

Picture frame it. You can also, if you live in US, go to Home Depot, and go to the molding section and get something there similar to picture frames. Like a chair rail.

Moleskin tape would probably work better. Or the felt pads you attach to the bottom of chair legs.

The bumper stickers for coffee tables in the baby proofing section? I’ve seen them in clear rubber rounds with corner cutouts that might be able to just fit right on without being obtrusive

You can find little felt or rubber pads/bumpers in most home improvement stores. Felt will not stick to the wall like rubber will, FYI.

At Home Depot they have clear adhesive bumpers for exactly this kind of thing. They are like squashed half domes. Just put them on the top corners of the backside of the mirror. Problem solved.

I use blue tack~ it comes in white as well. It’s a sticky hard rubber substance that is easily pliable, totally removable, and will help keep those sharp corners from causing damage!

Sticky-back felt foot pads for furniture on the back of the mirror corners.
