Etching a Jewelry Dish

Make a lovely jewelry dish gift for Mother’s Day by up-cycling a glass dish and etching it with etchall. #etchallcreme #upcycle #tutorial

with etchall

I found this glass piece at my local Goodwill store. It might have been a coaster but there was only one. I thought it would make for a nice jewelry dish after I enhanced it with etchall etching creme.

Thank you in advance for supporting this site with its use.

The first step is to remove the price label and clean the glass with rubbing alcohol.

After measuring the piece and adjusting the size of my design, I cut vinyl on a Cricut Maker.

I weeded the design and centered it on the back of the dish. It would work on the inside as well.

After I made sure the design was well attached, I covered the design with etchall etching creme. It only takes 15 minutes to etch the glass and the creme is reusable.

After removing the used etching creme, wash the glass and discard the vinyl.

Video Tutorial:

In the close-up image, check out the clarity of the smallest lines in the design.

Making a Santa Gift Box

Craft a Santa box for gift giving, decor, or as an ornament. It is so cute!

with CutCardStock

It is so fun to craft for the holidays. I am such a Santa fan so I made this Santa gift box. You can fill it with a gift or sweets. Add a ribbon and hang it on your tree for an ornament. It can also be used as a decor piece.

I created this free SVG file to share with you as a part of the CutCardStock design team.

The card stock used for the Santa Box is Habanero and is weighted at 80# cover. I also used Basis in white and pink.

Using a Cricut Maker, I cut and scored the card stock.

Video Tutorial:

Fold the large red shape on all the score lines, folding them in the same direction. Once done, glue the tab to form the box. I used tacky glue.

Glue the facial pieces onto the box. I chose to antique them beforehand using Distress Oxide ink in Vintage Photo. I also used pink chalk to create rosy cheeks. The mustache was placed using foam tape to show the difference from the beard.
