Happy Crafty
Friday!
I loved making
my father his etched beer mug (found here) for Father’s Day so much, and I wanted to etch
more. I have made a dear friend of ours
a beer mug, and I have now etched 36 shot glasses. I sound like I have an alcohol problem, but
don’t fear, none of these are for me to keep!
My mother is
soon to wed and I wanted to help throw her and her fiancé a party the night before
the wedding. The theme: “Liquor and Lace”. A Liquor and Lace party may sound ‘skeezy’,
but I promise you I am making this one fun and still classy! To correlate with the theme of Liquor, I crafted
each guest a 2oz. shot glass with the word ‘Love’ and a heart etched into it.
This process was
simple.
Pick out the Cricut
pattern I wanted to use, cut that in vinyl, and place that over the shot
glass. (I first did this on scrap paper
to get my sizes appropriate).
Once the vinyl
is placed in the right position, slather on the etching cream (found at hobby
stores).
I waited 2 minutes
and then brushed off the excess etching cream.
Rinse. Note: Next
time I will be doing this with my outside garden hose, not my sink, as I do not
know what etching cream can do to the pipes.
Let Dry, and
Enjoy!
Have a great weekend and let me know if you try etching something yourself!
