You know how I have an obsession with glass? Wavey does, too. Being five years old, she believes that drinking milk from a real glass cup makes her fancy.
So, I got fancy.
I used clear laminating paper to create the stencil of the scallop and applied $2 sticker letters found in the scrapbooking aisle at the craft store.
I smudged on a generous amount of etching cream, but I wasn't careful about the drips and it went past the 'safe' area of the covering. Oh well...beginner's error.
After five minutes, I rinsed off the cream, peeled the adhesives, and voila! A cute little glass that reads, "Moo."
It's a bit imperfect and I can see where I didn't carefully apply the laminating paper well, but overall it was a fun 10 minute project that I'm sure will translate into many monogrammed glasses/jars/vases/votives in the future.
Great tutorial and it came out fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteHow neat. I will continue to live my crafty projects vicariously through you.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute cup! Love it :] Etching is something that still intimidates me.
ReplyDeleteok..so etching will be my next 'thing'. You make it seem so simple..maybe I can do it :)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea..Def on the to-do list...
ReplyDeletefun! I just did this with my students and they loved it:) It took me forever to find the etching solution. According to the craft store, the solution is only seasonal?! I had never heard of such a thing!

ReplyDeleteSoooo cute! I've totally been meaning to etch some glass!!!
ReplyDeleteVery cute cup!
I'm totally gonna do something like this. SOON! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm like Mandy...intimidated by glass etching. But you made it seem so simple and easy!! Definitely gonna try it! Love the design.
ReplyDeleteLet me tell you: It's SO easy. Do you know how to smear goop around, wait five minutes and use a kitchen sink to rinse? Then you've pretty much got the right skills.
