How do I cover the mirrors on the back of the china cabinet?



I want to put wainscoting up on the back of our china cabinet, but the mirrors on the back of the cabinet are not coming out. Is there a specific adhesive that would work best to just attach the wainscoting panels directly to the mirrors?

I need your help to bring an old China cabinet back to life.

What can I do to bring this piece back to life? It was my grandmother's. I don't want to get rid of it but it looks so sad.
I would use contact paper or peel and stick wallpaper with a cool design over the mirror. It could really liven up the cabinet and would be easier than cutting and installing wood paneling.
Another option would be breadboard, depending on the look you are going for. I assume any strong adhesive would be enough to hold it to the mirror. You could also install a small trim piece around the edges for extra security, but as long as what you install doesn't have much weight, some kind of gorilla glue should work.
Liquid nails will hold it.
Cut the wainscoting to fit and use command strips to hold it in place. When you are tired of it or want to change it, it will be easy-peasy. Another thing you could do is cut cardboard to fit and cover it with wallpaper, cloth or whatever, and put it on the mirrors with the command strips.
