This week I have been planning my Christmas mantle. I know, I know its early, but I love the season and it doesn’t hurt to do a little early brainstorming. I have a new mirror on my mantle and want to do some faux etching with vinyl for the winter. I thought I would test out a few ideas and techniques on my bathroom mirror first. To my surprise, the first and easiest technique worked!
So let me share with you this easy, temporary, faux etching technique.
Here’s what I used:
Clear Con-tact paper
Silhouette Electronic Cutter
Silhouette Scraper
I cut out a thick simple design. WASH and an arrow. Just a friendly reminder for my Little Lady.
{I would love to show you some step by step photos but clear Con-tact paper and clear transfer paper on a mirror do not photograph well.}
After cutting and weeding the design I used transfer paper to place it on the mirror.
Once on the mirror I used my scraper to smooth out all the bubbles. And that’s it!
An easy faux glass etching technique. I’m excited to use this on my winter mantle.
Thanks for visiting!
