Only the most awesomest thing EVER. I've seen several blogs demonstrating the wonderful uses for a Silhouette, and now that I am the proud owner of one, it's time for another tier of crafting action!
First project: glass etching!
After the observation of some helpful blogs here and there, it was time for some glass etching. The question becomes...what to etch? Simple answer? I had no clue...but that usually means it's time for some inspiration wandering at Goodwill. Sometimes it's there's some finds and then sometimes there's some finds. This was one of those times.
Two glass pitchers at $4 each...sounded like a perfect starting place for some glass etching. Once I found these guys an idea came up. Every month or so a college friend opens up her house for a girl's weekend - invariably, this weekend always includes a night out at a restaurant catching up on eachother's lives over a pitcher of sangria...so why not make her an awesome pitcher for sangria at home?
With an idea now ready to roll, it's then the picking lettering font and font size, printing it out, and pulling off the unwanted bits...
...then to transfer the vinyl to my glass pitcher. (I used Silhouette's Transfer Paper to help move the vinyl to the pitcher intact...highly recommended!)
Then to apply the glass etching creme. The one suggestion I have on this step is to not be stingy with applying the etching creme. Trust me.
And the final result...is a fancy new Sangria pitcher!
Next project will be up soon, more Silhouette craftiness! :)
