Mirror

The circular decorative mirror was purchased from Target in the bullseye Target playground (dollar section). Walmart and Ross dress for less also sell affordable and decorative mirrors of varying sizes. Amazon has FREE shipping for prime members nd below are some similar options found through them..

Adhesive Vinyl Design

Designed In Design Space

The design was made using elements from various sources. The layout was made in Cricut design space. Names were made using 2 different fonts from dafont.com, the cursive script font is October Twilight. Choose a favorite font and whatever saying desired. Then personalize it with the recipient’s name. To get a continuous flowing word remember to weld the word together.

Cut Out With The Cricut Maker

I LOVE the Cricut Maker. The maker quickly and easily cut the names and unicorn designs out of adhesive foil material. The unwanted excess material was removed or also known as “weeded.”

Adhesive Vinyl

For this project, the adhesive vinyl was all Cricut brand. I highly recommend that people price compare to get the best quality and price for all materials, and especially for adhesive vinyl. The Cricut adhesive vinyl was purchased directly from Cricut during a sale and mystery box promotion. Amazon also has multiple options as well. Favorite non-Cricut brands include Siser and Oracal. Remember to do test cuts before cutting designs because settings may be slightly different for alternative brands.

Transfer Tape Application

Transfer tape was applied to the top of the design. It was burnished (rubbed down) so the vinyl would stick onto the transfer tape. The paper backing was removed and the adhesive foil vinyl was then rubbed onto the mirror. The transfer tape was removed at a 90 degree angle off the adhesive vinyl, leaving it behind on the mirror. This process was repeated for all design elements to make the full design.
