Etched Votive Cup
Materials
In First Picture.
2 pieces of 8 1/x x 11 white card stock
1 Zyron Machine
1 Stylus
1 votive cut bought at Hobby Lobby
In Second Picture
Etching Cream
Foam Brush
Not Pictured
Cricut
Gypsy
Winter Woodland Cartridge
I cut 4 sets of trees from the Winter Woodland Cartridge w 2 ½ x h 2 ½ inches.
I trimmed around these at ½ inches out from each side...making the square 3 inches x 3 inches (pictured).
I ran each square through my Zyron (pictured).
I used the stylus to trace around the inside of the image and the outside of the square... and then I ran the side of the stylus across the whole image several times... this was to insure that all the sticky stuck good to the paper.
I then pealed away the Zyron papers... attached to my votive cup... and added the Etching Cream (pictured).. Let that set for 5 minutes...or by the instructions of your brand of Etching Cream... rinse off well with warm water ... this will ruin the paper but not the glass... and that is ok.
Clean your glass... (better than I did).

BEAUTIFUL!! Just tried glass etching myself and now I am HOOKED!!!!! I absolutely LOVE the votive holder!!! YOU ROCK!! Hugs, T
Oh Jeannie, what a great project! I actually bought the etching cream but have been too afraid to do it! Was it hard to get the paper off of your votive after you etched? Thanks, Pam
Jeannie,
Glass etching IS easy ~ and you have given such complete and easy to understand directions! Your work is fabulous! Looks like a Christmas gift to me! Thanks for sharing!
Susan
So pretty!!! Love the trees!!! Great share!!! You've done it again!!!

OK, Jeannie, you've convinced me...I'm going to give glass etching a try. I have a SIL that would love this. TFS!

Jeannie, that is so pretty! Looks like I'll have to go buy me some Armour Etch!
This is just beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Neat to see something different from you. Don't get me wrong, I love your usual type of projects this is just out of the box for when I think of you. Lovely project- thank for the idea of using paper instead of vinyl! I had never etched yet because I didn't want to waste vinyl! maybe I'll have to do something now that I have a different way of doing it.
Hi Jeannie,
Just love your home decor project... You make it sound so easy to do.
Thank you for sharing
these will definately be copied. They look great
You make glass etching look soooo easy to do! And, your tip of using a Xyron is really neat. Love your project! TFS! :-)
This is wonderful! I guess I always thought you had to use vinyl to do etching. So happy to know you don't! I will be trying some of these before to long. Just have to get me some etching cream!LOL I love your candle holder. Great for the holidays! :)
Beautiful. I have etching cream, and xyron machine(never would have thought of that). This is all the push I need to get started. Thanks Dianne
Fabulous Jeannie! I think I might have to make some of these!
Love the candle holder. Have never tried etching, but will now that I know I don't have to use vinyl.--Ryansmaama
