Etched Glass Miniature Bottle

Hey Crafty Peeps, here is another amazing way you can use Etchall in your Mixed Media Crafting!! We all know and love those tiny Miniature bottles that we have used several times. I have seen them decorated in soooooo many fab ways. I thought why not pull out my Fabulous Etchall Etching cream and Etch a beautiful design on to the glass. So I did and here are the results!!

VIDEO TUTORIAL COMING SOON FOR THIS PROJECT!!!

As you can see from this photo above, I have etched a beautiful butterfly onto the glass using the steps I have taught you many times!!! You can find these steps in my Etchall Videos on my Youtube channel. The etched butterfly is a die cut from Memory Works and it is called "Pippi Butterfly" and I purchase this die from http://www.craftycity.com/ The base you see here is a metal filigree from Miriam's Crafting Supplies

The top or the cork was painted in silver acrylic paint. I then took a glass bead, a tear drop pearl and a fab bead cap in the shape of a Lilly and glue these pieces to the top of the jar.

To finish off the piece, I added a sheer bow, a tear drop flat backed pearl that can also be found at Miriam's Crafting Supplies and them I stuffed the jar with 3 paper roses to have some shabby chic goodness and a touch of pink to the finished piece.

This mini tutorial is intended to show you the diversity of projects and ways that you can use Etchall Etching Cream. This product surpasses any other on the market. It is true to its name and the results are amazing each and every time!!! This product is a must have staple in your crafting stash!!!

Thrift Store Etched Glass Frame Tutorial!

Hello Crafty Peeps!!! I wanted to share with you a fab Thrift Store find that I revamped for my home. I found this frame for $2 and I knew right them I wanted to Etch it with non other than the fabulous and Best etching cream on the market, "Etchall". So let me tell you what I did step by Step and I hope this inspires you to introduce Etchall into your crafting.

I cleaned the frame and got out my Etchall Etching Cream.

Cut your design out on the Etchall Etching Mask

Peel back the top layer of the Etching Mask Transfer Paper and place your designs face up!!

Take your squeegee tool and run over the etching mask and etching mask transfer paper to make sure that you have good contact for the transfer onto the frame.

Take the back layer of the Etching Mask off to reveal the sticky side of the Etching mask. This side will be stuck to your project as show below!

I changes the design but the steps are all the same!!! As you see above I have transferred this design on to the glass frame. Remember that Etchall has all these same steps inside their etching transfer paper packaging. Plus I have tons of recorded video tutorials also on my youtube channel to help you with the above steps.

For this frame style, I cut an additional design in half to go on the top and the bottom of the frame as you see in the photo below!!

As you can see in the above picture, I ALWAYS!!! tape of the areas where I do not want any etching cream to touch. This is an added security.

Use your squeegee tool to spread the etching cream generously over your project. You want it about as thick as peanut butter so that you can insure a clean and perfect etc.

Allow the cream to set for 15mins. That is all the time you need!!

Remember that Etchall Products are all reusable. So scrap off the etching cream with your squeegee and return it to the container then....

Take your project to the sink and rinse off the rest of the etching cream and remove the tape and Etching Mask from the project under running water. This makes removing the the etching mask easier.

This frame came incomplete with no back, But I added some 1/8 inch score take to the back to hold my matted photo that can be removed later to change the photo out.

Using some fabulous metal filigrees and pearls from Miriams Crafting Supplies I added them to the sides of the frame as you see below!

Now for the finished piece!!!

WOW, it turned out stunning and looks fabulous in my living room for everyone to see!!! I took a $2 frame and made it look so expensive using a fabulous and amazing product Etchall. If you have any questions about this project, please let me know!! I will be more than happy to tel you how to get started on this Etchall journey so that you can create lovely pieces!!

Thanks for Stopping By
