Supplies for Project

Clear adhesive vinyl paper and a craft knife: We used Con-Tact brand adhesive vinyl paper and a #11 X-acto knife blade.

Etching cream and a paintbrush: We used Armour Etch Glass Etching Cream and a 1-inch bristle craft brush.

Beveled mirror: We chose one from Lowe’s—a steal at around $15! A rectangular shape is easier to frame with your pattern.

Pattern or stencil: Look for precut stencils at etchworld.com, or design your own pattern. We used a photocopier to create our pattern.
