How do I mount a few shelves on a bathroom mirror?

There's absolutely no place else in our tiny bathroom to add some storage. The space I want to use is about 3' wide and 2 1/2' feet tall. I'm wanting to get items OFF the top of our vanity. NOTE - there's somewhat of a beach scene going on in this bathroom.

You could put a standing shelf on your vanity like this: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/10344274119440570/#details?amp_client_id=ua3olXraUwFUmYXK9PPye01c8zQ3fG4woO-SKfMCzr-IupTda-MFBJ_5rBy_oNQo&mweb_unauth_id=f35c8953e88887cedef68bcd10005436 Another option would be to use a tiered tray on your vanity.
Hi ! You can cut out the area between the studs ( not on an outside wall ) then finish it as a recessed shelving! That is what I am doing in my small bathroom . I have a useless tiny medicine cabinet 11x14 !!! And it sticks half way out of the wall... You can put up floating shelves using shelves in a distressed wood look or clean white or even glass...
I agree with Lauren. No way to mount shelves on a mirror.
Hi Glenna I am not so adventurous as to adhere any thing to glass so if you can add a shelf at the bottom of the mirror then maybe if you could add another but extend it out beyond the mirror so it can be attached to the wall. Of course the 2nd shelf would need to be installed so that the mirror is still usable so it might be more towards the top of the mirror
Hi again , if you aren't planning on pudding heavy items on the shelf , you might want to try Velcro hanging strips made by command strips/hooks. I was looking for a way to frame out my bathroom mirror ( the edges had black spots coming through ) instead of replacing it , I saw a bathroom re do where the homeowner attached the wooden frame right to the mirroring command Velcro strips .
I'd be leery of overloading a tiny bath with too many shelved items-too much "visual stimulation". Can you select fewer items and rotate the display throughout the year?
Is there any way to add built in storage between wall studs?
I'm going to ponder the above comments! Thanks.
Without pics of your bathroom using the ceiling might help?! Another thought- Little light weight items can suction cup to mirror. They make many suction cup holders for the shower that will work on mirror but keep it to make up brushes and other small light weight items etc. Hometalk had nautical shelving instructions here as well. Look under the search button here.
