Hey girlie!!! Hahahaha! I Love your pics……they look like what I would would be able to draw (except mine would be worse, like caveman stick figures). Anyhoo, we’ve taken down several mirrors and hubby just pulls ‘em off the wall and then repairs the “head” sized parts on the wall where it took off the paper. But no kidding with the ginormous globs of adhesive!!

You take the paper off and then stick it to the mat. Let me check with my neighbor Tam (who has actually done it instead of just heard about it)!

So I have a random question. I am friends with your sister in law and she mentioned that you can use heat and bond instead of the fabric interfacing for the silhouette. I tried using it and it didn’t work. First I tried cutting it with the paper on the back on a cutting mat and also with the paper peeled off on the cutting mat. Both ways it moves the fabric around and so it don’t cut the correctly and it bunches up a lot. Is there a better way to do it?

The new mirror is almost as fabulous as your stick figures. ;D

The 4 ginormous globs of glue took the paper off the drywall. It took one light coat of spackle to repair. Not bad at all!

Thank you for posting this! We have a bathroom mirror that needs to come down, too. But I’ve been hesitating for fear of drywall damage. So, was there much damage to the drywall? Thank you!

The illustrations make the whole post. I would have been completely lost without them. Even better than pictures IMHO! Loving that frame- how come I never come across such loveliness when I’m out?

Ummm…..I work at a Children’s Book Company, and we are VERY interested in seeing if you’d like to work in our illustrations department. Your talent is amazing! (and we’d like it if you’d hang that marvelous mirror in your office as well) Let me know.

OMW your descriptions are hilarious! Thank you for the tip about the cutting wire – never heard of it nor the proper way to use adhesive on a mirror back – and this is awesome info to know for future projects – thanks again. LOVE the new mirror!!

Looks good so far!

when i removed my bathroom mirror i just came off… there was no adhesive behind it and I was moving it by myself.

smart move. lol. joking. I chipped the corner of it but it was going out to the curb anyway.
