Sunday Craftday : Etching Glass

Hi Friends!

I'm excited to share with you a craft project I worked on yesterday:  Glass Etching.  

I bought myself a Silhouette Cameo a few weeks ago along with a "Glass Etching Starter Kit".  I have been playing around with the Cameo here and there.  It is a pretty easy machine to figure out how to use.

Yesterday, I decided to try out the etching materials. I watched a couple of good videos on Youtube and then went in search of some glass.  I found these cute little jars for $1 each at The Dollar Store!  SCORE!

These jars are great because you can either use them upright or they can also sit at an angle.  

Because I am in  Back-to-School mode, I decided to make jars to put my paperclips, pushpins, and eraser caps in.  

Of course I had a helper on this project.  This is Cricket.  She loves to be in the middle of the action!  

When I was all finished (at about 12:00 last night) they weren't perfect, but pretty good for my first time etching!

All-in-all the project cost me $4.  The jars were a dollar each and the round borders cost me about $1 in the Silhouette store.  Not bad for a practice project!

Thanks for letting me share with you!  If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below!
