Make an Etched Mirror

Pretty organic motifs etched on plain mirrors give vintage charm in an instant.

Etched Mirror

Distinct but subtle etching on glass achieves a frosted effect. Etching creams make the technique an easy, inexpensive craft that can be done in just a few hours. While almost any glass surface will do, we chose mirrors and enlisted the help of rubber stamps and self-adhesive paper to perfect our designs. If these botanical motifs aren't your cup of tea, try modern dots or a traditional paisley pattern.
