Mirror stickers - Tutorial

I mentioned in an earlier post that our new mirror material with adhesive back can be used for making wall stickers. Here is a picture of the tractor sticker I made, which found its way to the front of my son's wardrobe...   :)

So here's my simple tutorial on how I made the sticker.

I used the tractor template that I found on Cindy Ferguson's blog. Cindy has kindly shared some free paper cutting images, which I found were great for making mirror stickers. Here's the link to the tractor and a lot of other designs: http://papercutting.blogspot.com.au/2010_02_01_archive.html


So to make your sticker you'll need:
- a template (I used the tractor outline)
- a sheet of mirror material *
- double sided adhesive sheet *
- scissors, cutting knife and a self healing mat / cutting board


* These products are available from our online store: www.tomnidesign.com.au

So let's get started :)









1.  I like to use the mirror material and adhesive resourcefully, trim the paper template and adhere it to one side of your double sided adhesive sheet.

2.  Trim the template.

3. Peel off the backing from your template and press it down on the 'wrong side' of your mirror material sheet.

4. Cut out your sticker by cutting along the lines. I used a combination of scissors and cutting knife to cut out my shape.

5. Here is the finished result - This is the back

and here is the front showing the nice mirror material.

6. To adhere the sticker, peel off the adhesive and mirror backings. You can re-use the adhesive backing template on a new mirror sheet by peeling off the adhesive that was originally attached to the mirror (the adhesive will still be sticky so you can re-use the same 'sticky template' on a new mirror sheet).

 7. Position the sticker on a flat surface and peel off the protective layer.

It's that simple! If you make these stickers, feel free to email me some pics :)
