Im new to this, and I just can't figure out how to mirror this shape

Ive been at this a few days now, this is my 2nd part. It is a faceplate for a radio I have been working on.
As you can see, I sketched out the pattern on one side, and made it a hole in the plate. I like this cutout, now I just want the same thing on the other side of the plate, mirrored.
I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to do this. I think my features are a little messy too, I don't even know how to merge features into one feature... I would think I need to merge the separate sketches first before I can mirror them to the other side. I just don't know.
I traced out the skull pattern from an image, so I am proud of myself for that at least! Please help

Seems like you've managed to figure it out!0

It's just a matter of mirroring the body. Also, two tips. You could have done the entire skull drawing in one sketch instead of 10 separate sketches. Also, even if you have multiple sketches, you can extrude them all with one extrude feature. Take a look at my link.
