Ikea Hackers: Mirror Tutorial

One of the latest trends in home interiors is 'Ikea hacking'.
Originating in 2006 Ikea hacking involves taking everyday purchases from Ikea and recreating them into your own unique creation, whether simply adding embellishment or finding a new purpose for an item such as lampshades and cabinets.

Just in time for Valentine's Day, see Trotec's own Ikea hack where we take a plain mirror and transform into a unique gift. Why give flowers when you can make someone smile all year round.

Settings: Visit the main site for the recommended settings for your laser. 

Step 1: Take an everyday idea mirror with a thick wooden frame, we used Ikea's Malma mirror.


Step 2: Using the template, downloadable from our website, insert your Valentine's message into CorelDraw, whether a poem, love note or sentimental song lyrics. 



Step 3: Spread the love!
Wipe off any residue, wrap up in a bow and spread the love with a unique Valentine's gift. 

Also perfect for other special occassions such as birthdays, Christmas and graduations, or merely to celebrate a random Wednesday, because we don't always need a reason to make someone's day.
