My family gave me a $25 gift card to Michael's for Christmas. I wanted to stretch that as far as I could so I went in there one day and bought 2 pieces of scrapbook paper for $1.50 so I could get the 40% coupon that prints with your receipt. Except, they gave me a 50% off coupon instead! So awesome! I went back the next week to purchase my etching cream. I didn't realize this stuff was so expensive. For a 10 oz bottle it was $29. Luckily I had my 50% off coupon! So, with the remaining $23.50 on my gift card I bought glass etching cream and 2 bunches of gerbera daisies. Then, on my way out I spotted these red berry vines!
They were originially $6.99 and were marked down to $1.83! I love red berry vines so I picked up 3 bunches. I ended up paying 52 cents out of my own pocket. I thought I did a pretty good job for only $25!
So, my first attempt at glass etching was not a huge success. I think I failed because I did not put enough of the etching cream on. Here are the before and after pictures:
This is the design I chose from my silhouette which I printed out in vinyl and stuck to the glass. This is the finished project:
Pretty splotchy. It's ok though. That's why I do practice items first before I attempt my real project! (Which will be shown when it is finally done. It includes everything I purchased from Michael's on my gift card!... minus the scrapbook paper)
I'm excited to see what your real project is!! and high five to you for getting all of that for $25! you rock!! :)
