This past weekend, I started out wanting to do a simple craft to satisfy my creative/artsy side and I settled on glass etching because it involves very few steps and the results are pretty awesome. Since I'm a novice crafter (no die-hard pinteresting here), I figured all I would need besides the glass and etching cream would be a cutting mat, contact paper, and a sharp blade to cut out a stencil. Well, as it turns out, this project involves a lot more patience and skill since I was trying to do this without a pre-made stencil.
And now, I'm seriously considering investing in a Cricut cutter now... it would result in cleaner lines and I could do a bunch of other projects like scrapbooking and cardmaking and the like with it. Decisions, decisions...
Still, cute mason jars for cocktails, even if the etching is a little squiggly.
