Christmas With the Cricut - Home Decor Project

This is my Tuesday Project for Christmas With the Cricut...I can't wait to see the other projects... especially Susan's...I know that she is really excited so be sure and check hers out... I really love doing the glass etching...its really quick... and dresses up an in-expensive item and makes it really special!... hope you like my Home Decor Project... thank you so much for looking!... Hugs, Jeannie
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).

This is just beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Deanna said...

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.
