One tip though-- Instead of cutting out the text on the computer paper, color over the back of the letters with a lead pencil the heavier the better , and then tape the computer paper to the contact paper.

Some mirrors have a tough silver back, while others can be scratched very easily. But either way, they will not dissolve with the diluted craft acid cream.
