Make an etched glass vase out of any old bottle!

The etching cream you buy will come with exact directions and safety instructions which you should read carefully.  Hydroflouric acid sounds like it can be pretty scary if you don't use it carefully!

materials:

bottle vinyl stick-on letters etching cream (I used Armour Etch) sponge brush rubber gloves, safety glasses

step 1:clean and dry the blank bottle

step 2:stick on vinyl letters using masking tape as a guide to get them on straight (although it's still really hard to get them exactly right!)

step 3:here's how they look when they're all on

step 4:now you put on the gloves and goop on the etching cream. ðyou could make a nice border around your letters with masking tape so it makes a nice clean rectangle but I wanted a rougher look.

wash off the etching cream thoroughly and peel off the letters
