You can easily upgrade a glass cutting board from the Dollar Tree into something worth putting on display. It was really easy to do using etchall etching creme. In no time at all, the cutting board was transformed. Make one for yourself or to gift.
Materials:
Directions:
I used the image from Cricut Design Space. Rangoli Mandala, Vinyl #MB78A515
cutting the design on the Cricut Maker
weeding the image
clean the back of the glass cutting plate with alcohol
I aligned the vinyl on the glass.
here is the vinyl on the glass
getting ready to use etchall
apply generously and leave for at least 15 minutes
return the excess to the bottle after the allotted time
I used a scrap of card stock to remove the etchall.
Here is the final result – quick and easy but it looks like so much more.

Make an alternative bucket pumpkin with Cricut.
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine.
I was intrigued when I first saw the bucket camping lights people were making. We don’t camp so I thought they might be a great alternative to a carved pumpkin as a DIY Halloween Craft. So I pursued how to make the bucket lights and changed it a bit for an alternative Halloween Pumpkin with the assistance of my Cricut Maker. I used the Cricut to cut out the bats from vinyl and felt. The Cricut Maker has exchangeable blades that were used. The Rotary Blade™, with its gliding, rolling action, cuts through virtually any fabric and I used it for the felt. I used the Fine Point blade to cut the permanent vinyl. Both of these blades come with the Maker, there are additional blades available.

Begin by using the bat template from Cricut for cutting vinyl. Using an entire sheet of 12 x 12 black vinyl, cut out this design.
Bats after being weeded.
Using the bats like a sticker, apply them to the bucket in a random design.
Cut out the felt.
Using the same design as the vinyl. Edit the file to only have the medium sized bats.
Then cut the felt with the Rotary Blade.
Glue two felt bats together.
Follow the next step before gluing together.
Place a rolled wire between the two felt bats.
Allow them to dry overnight.
Bundle the wires together.
Decorative ribbon from Dollar Tree.
Using both entire rolls of ribbon, make a bow.
Wrap the wire from the felt bats around the bow.
This is where it gets a little tricky.
I tried hot glue and super glue to attach the bow to the lid.
Neither worked.
I then drilled a little hole in the center of the lid, wrapped another wire around the bow,
and fed it through the lid to hold the bow in place.
Here is the Alternative Halloween Pumpkin or “Bat Bucket” done.
Here is the bucket with the light inside turned on.
