So I have had this mirror for about 6 years. I got it for $1 at a garage sale and I have always loved it. I have always wanted to do something with it, but never knew what to do. I painted it brown (it used to be cream) but it still needed something. I got some awesome etch glass vinyl from Craftvinyl.com
and decided that it would look good on my mirror. It added just the right touch!!
Craftvinyl.com has 5 different colors of their etch glass vinyl, gold, silver, pink, green and blue. I used the silver, green and blue.
Here’s how I made it:
1) I took an image from the Silhouette online store and ungrouped (ctrl u) the image. I wanted the branch to be longer than 12″ so I put it on the diagonal of the mat.
2) Using my CAMEO, I cut the vinyl. Blade 2 and thickness 12.
3) I removed the vinyl.
4) I then transferred the vinyl to the mirror. Cool ceiling, huh? 🙂
And just like that, my mirror has a little design and color.
I love that it’s subtle and gives a little color.

Love this idea! But since I don't have a Silhouette, I'll be doing this with real etching cream on one of my many mirrors. Handcutting a stencil out of clear contact paper works for me, so thanks for the motivation.
