Wow your family and friends with this professional-looking personalized mishloach manos, or use mini grape juice bottles as place cards for your Purim seudah!
This is a cool project for the DIYers among you!
Method 1: with a Cricut machine
materials:
* Wine bottle or any glassware
* Cricut machine
* Removable vinyl (I like this one. Use that color that you still have lying around because you’re not actually going to use it on anything)
* Weeding tool
* Transfer tape
* Armour Etch glass etching cream
* Paintbrush
* Plastic gloves
1. In Design Space, create the text or design that you’d like to etch on your bottle.
2. On the mat preview screen, move your design a little further into the mat so there is some space all the way around it. Place your vinyl on your mat, load it into the machine and cut your design.
All done!
Method 2: no special machines needed
materials:
* Wine bottle or any glassware
* Alphabet (or any) stickers or Armour Etch over stencils.
* Masking tape
* Armour Etch glass etching cream
* Paintbrush
* Plastic gloves
1. If using stickers, cut out the stickers you plan on using, leaving as big a border around them as possible.
Optional:
An optional final step is to use Rub n Buff in a color of your choice to color your etching and make it stand out more. Rub n Buff does wash off over time (the actual etching is permanent), so it’s great for use on things like wine bottles and vases which aren’t washed too often, as opposed to glasses that are used daily. Glassware with Rub n Buff on it should be hand-washed for it to last longer, and it shouldn’t be used on surfaces that will come into contact with food.
Can this be done on wood too?
Etching cream doesn’t work on wood, but there are other methods that can be used to burn designs into wood using a different chemical solution
