Etched Wedding Glasses

To etch these glasses, I used contact paper to cut out the letters on my Cricut using the Storywook cartridge.  Using the negative piece of the contact paper, I attached each letter to a glass and then applied a thick layer of the etching cream. The directions say to let the etching cream set for about twenty minutes, but I let it set for about an hour.  Scrape the excess etching cream back into its container as this can be used again.  Then all you do is rinse the glass off and you're done.  Not as hard as I thought it was going to be.  I bought the etching cream (Armour Etch)  from Hobby Lobby with my 40% off coupon.

Santa Block

These glass blocks are a great idea for gifts.  I purchased my block from Hobby Lobby (don't forget your 40% off coupon). The Santa face is a file from Kim on the SmartBuyGal forum. After weeding this file, I attached transfer tape and then applied it to the block.  I carefully removed the transfer tape and made sure the vinyl was flat with no air bubbles.  The bottom of the block has a hole to add the white lights and then I tied the green bow.
