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.
That's adorable! What a great idea.
Gorgeous! Love it!
Lovely! Now I'm going off to search for etched vinyl.
I love it and have so much envy over your Cameo! I just posted about my love for birds here: http://applestonedrive.blogspot.com/2012/02/birdie-blessings.html

Very cute idea. This is my fist visit, over from Wowzers party at oopsey daisy. Hope you will have time to drop by. Blessings, Debbie
Wow! You are inspiring! Thanks for being so detailed on the instructions! I'm also coveting the Cameo just a bit!
Love it! Wonderful idea! Pinning it:)
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.
Love the look!
this is so pretty. great idea and simple improvement
