Elmer’s Painters Paint Markers Mirror Update

I am going to start by professing my love for the Elmer’s Painters Paint Markers.  I only wish I had these on hand during my high school years, oh the madness that I could of come up with!

I mentioned in a previous post for my son’s dress up area, I used these markers to add a little something extra to my son’s mirror in his bedroom.

I used the markers on this mirror by creating the road and then also the wording.  I used stickers to add the car and the signs.  This was a simple project that was easily done under $10!

After I did this, I knew I would be adding words and extra touches to mirrors throughout our house.  We recently purchased a dresser that I redid, but I had the mirror in the garage without a place for it.  These past few weeks we have been giving our kitchen and update and as part of that we have a large wall in there that I knew would be perfect for the mirror.

I decided to head to Walmart and pick up a few Elmer’s Painters Paint Markers, they are now sold in singles for only $1.97!  Of course, I wanted one of every color, but I tried to use constraint.  To view my entire shop head over to my Google + story!

I thought I would use both the green and brown; however, I ended up just using brown for this one.  I wanted to write the verse “Be still and know that I am God” on the mirror.  Our last name is ‘Still’ and I have always felt that last name was picked for me, because I have always had to remind myself of this verse my entire life.

Typically, when I write on a mirror with painters markers, I go over it first with a dry erase marker that I can use as my outline.  Unfortunately, I had to free hand it this time since my dry erase markers went missing.  I highly recommend though using those first.  Once the painter markers dry, then you can simply erase the outline from the dry erase markers.

I wrote the verse out on the mirror, which we had just painted and stained.  Then, I removed the painters tape and hung it up!

I will likely add some decals to it when I find the perfect ones and then flank the sides of the mirror with wall decor.  This is simple way to add something extra to a mirror, plus now that it is in my kitchen I will see it every day and remember this verse.
