Cricut Mirror Decal Tutorial – Wedding Selfie Mirror
***
If you’re planning a Halloween wedding (or even just a spooky-chic party), we’ve got the perfect DIY project to make your decor boo-tifully unforgettable! This week’s Cricut tutorial shows you how to create a dramatic wedding selfie mirror with the words “Love at First Fright”, complete with eerie vinyl blood drips and a cauldron of fluttering 3D paper bats for good measure. 🦇
Whether you’re a Cricut beginner or a seasoned DIY bride, this project is simple, stylish, and guaranteed to have your guests lined up waiting to take photos.
💀 Why a Halloween Wedding Mirror?
A selfie mirror is such a fun feature for your wedding or event, guests love it! It’s an easy way to capture fun (and spooky) memories, and gives your guests an opportunity to showcase their outfits/fancy dress.
This version gives the classic idea a Halloween twist: gothic elegance with a hint of playful horror. By using removable vinyl, you can decorate your mirror without permanently altering it (Cricut state that their removable vinyl can be left in situ for up two years without leaving residue) ideal if you’ve thrifted a vintage frame or plan to reuse it after the wedding.
