I found this glass box a while ago and immediately knew it would be perfect for a Valentine’s Day project using Etchall Crème. The smooth glass surface was just begging for a decorative design, so I decided to etch a pretty heart right in the center of the lid. The etched heart adds an elegant, handmade touch while still keeping the box simple and versatile for gifting, decorating, or storing small treasures. It’s amazing how a little etching can completely transform a basic glass piece into something special and festive for the season.

After cutting the design on my Cricut Maker and weeding away the parts to etch, I cleaned the top of the glass box with rubbing alcohol.

I applied the vinyl onto the glass making sure all the areas to be etched were adhered well so the creme doesn’t bleed under the vinyl.

I applied the etching creme on top of the vinyl and allowed it to sit for 15 minutes, then I removed the creme and put it back into the container because etchall creme is reusable.

Wash the piece with soap and water to remove any remaining etching creme, and then remove the vinyl. A razor blade scraper can help remove little pieces of vinyl.

After cleaning the top of the glass, I applied a dark red buffing wax to bring out the heart design.

Here is the finished box. It really has a vintage keepsake feel.
