with etchall creme
These adorable tea lights feature the letters JOY etched onto them using etchall creme, adding a warm and festive touch to your holiday décor. Perfect for mantels, tablescapes, or cozy corners, they’re a charming way to brighten your seasonal celebrations!
These festive tea lights were created using budget-friendly items from Dollar Tree: glass votives, candles, and baker’s twine. With the help of etchall crème to etch the letters “JOY,” they came together quickly for a charming and affordable holiday décor project!
After cleaning the glass votives with rubbing alcohol, I applied the cut vinyl letters to each one. The vinyl was cut using a Cricut Maker, and each letter was framed in a square for easy alignment. This step ensured the design was perfectly positioned before etching!
Apply etchall crème generously onto the vinyl-covered votives, ensuring the exposed glass is fully coated. Allow the crème to sit for 15 minutes to complete the etching process. Once done, scrape the crème back into its container—it’s reusable! Wash the glass votives with soap and water, then remove and discard the vinyl to reveal your beautifully etched design.
To complete the candles, I applied a bit of buffing wax to the etched letters for a polished finish. Then, I wrapped baker’s twine around the top of each votive for a decorative touch and placed the candles inside.
