Spooky Mirror with Tape Technologies

Halloween is just around the corner.  I made a quick and fun decoration from a framed mirror that I picked up at the local Dollar Tree.  With some craft vinyl sheets and a die-cut machine, I put together this easy spooky project.

You will need:

Tape Technologies Gloss Vinyl Craft Sheets (Styletechcraft):  Silver & Black; Transfer Tape

Framed Mirror:  8-1/2" x 10-1/2" with metallic frame

Die-cut Machine

Dies:  Cobwebs, Spider, Skull

Instructions:

1.  Go online and google how to "weed" your vinyl shapes and apply to the surface.  This will explain how to cut and apply your vinyl shapes.  It is also possible to go online and purchase cuts (there are some that you can find for free).

2. Cut your vinyl shapes and apply to the mirror as shown. Cut the skull from silver vinyl and the black for the cobwebs and the spider. If you get an air bubble, use a pin or needles to puncture and smooth the shape.

3.  Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by the blog.

Take time to enjoy the small blessings along the way and,

Live Life with a Flourish!
