Glass Etching!

If you've ever been to my house, you know that anything I have that is glass, is probably etched! Glass etching is so easy and quick, but it took sometime for me to figure out how to get it right. Yup, quite a few craft fails! The biggest change I do from the directions, that makes SO much difference is: The instructions say to leave it on for 5 minutes and then rinse off. Instead, I use a foam brush and dab on a think layer of Armour Etch, and wait for 3 minutes, then I dab on another thick layer and wait 3 more minutes. Ucreate has a great tutorial I've used for glass etching here. Then I just rinse off! SO much better, it is all etched equally this way and looks great!

Over at A Girl and a Glue Gun awhile back I saw the great idea to etch your name onto the underside of your glass pans, so if you leave them somewhere, everyone will know whose they are. GENIUS! Seriously, if you've never been to her blog, you have to check it out. She is AWESOME, and so funny! I know I can totally relate to a glue gun addiction. :)
