Vinyl on Mirrors

My inspiration for these mirrors came from a set of mirrors I saw in the Parade of Homes 2 years ago. I have no idea where that picture is, but I can tell you what they looked like. They had silhouettes of flowers and birds on them and I kept thinking about how I might be able to make my own. Well, as soon as I started cutting vinyl with the Cricut, I knew how easy it was going to be.

These are the mirrors hanging in my bedroom. They’re really just used for decoration. I love the frames and the chains they’re hanging from.

I used the Home Decor cartridge to make the flowers, butterflies and dragon flies. I love this cartridge because of how many different images are included.

Now that it’s cut out, it’s time to place it on the mirror. I don’t use the transfer paper if I’m going to place it directly on the surface. I just peel off a little of the backing at a time, while I’m sticking it on the surface.

They’re not exactly like the ones I saw a couple years ago, but I like how they turned out.

This was all one piece so it was really easy.

And here they are all together.

It’s such an easy peasy project and if I get tired of it I can just peel it off.

    What a fun idea! I just cut vinyl with my cricut for the first time yesterday and it was SUPER easy to do! I think I am going to be putting it on everything in my house now:)
