Are you like me and have a whole cabinet of cute glassware you picked up in the thrift store? I mean, who can resist it?!?!? Vintage glassware is so beautiful but after a while the hubs starts looking at me funny. I can just hear him saying "really Anita? Really?" So the time has come to move some of it out. Today I am sharing how to upcycle a thrift store candy dish into a beautiful gift using etchall® etching creme. This project is so easy and you will love how it comes out!
Start out by creating a stencil for the top of the dish. I used a die to cut this one out of a new stencil material that is hopefully coming to the market soon. I LOVED working with it! Adhere the stencil to your project and make sure that all the edges are pressed down well before applying the etching creme.

blog post.
After I etched the top I finished the box off with some ribbon and flowers around the side of the container.
To accent the etched surface I added small pearls all around the outside of the design. I love the way it turned out and I can't wait to gift it to someone!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you give this a try and I would love to see what you come up with. Be sure to stop by the etchall®
