Vinyl Etched Glass Mirror


I finished my mirror tonight and I am very pleased with my results. I used the Life's a Beach Cricut Cartridge. I wanted to try to do what I call piecing. Putting to pieces of vinyl on my Cricut mat and butt them together. Reason is I only have 3"1/2 wide sheets of etched glass vinyl. (I hope this makes sense) I left the sheets of vinyl on my mat and then used my Transfer Tape as directed. I was pretty proud that it worked out. Try this if you are limited with the size vinyl sheets you have. You can't even tell where I pieced it together.

I have been doing alot with my cricut and have yet to try the etched glass. I have only done it where you use the glass etching cream and wonder if you would be able to tell me exactly how you did your mirror? And if there is a certain vinyl I purchase and how I do it. Thanks so much
