MoOn pLate....


 what a wonderful full moon project

This is one of my all time favorite things to make.
Supplies:
*************
Clear glass plate
Contact paper
Marker
X ~ acto knife, new blade
Glass etch
or 
Frosted Glass paint
Plate holder
Tea light candle

Wash and Dry the plate.
Cover the inside of the plate with your Contact Paper.
Using the marker, trace the face.
Take the X~acto knife and cut out the pieces
{the unfrosted spaces are where the contact paper stayed on}

Gloop on  the glass etch and let sit for correct amount of time
{see your glass etch instructions}

Wash off thoroughly and let dry.
Test a small edge or corner to make sure etch took.
I've done a second coat before.

Once this is done, and you've rewashed/dried,
peel the contact paper off.

You can then use the Glass Frosting paint to spruce up the etch,
like around the cheeks, chin, eyes..

Once the MoOn Plate is finished,
set on plate holder,
light tea candle,
and 
Enjoy~

Glass Etched Jar

While making the Chamomile Milk bath, I decided to Glass Etch the jar.
I gathered my supplies:

White Contact paper
X-acto knife with BRAND NEW BLADE (very very important)
Drawing pens or markers
Ruler

I cut a square of contact paper to stick to the glass bottle.
I drew my design on, just eyeballing it and then,
colored in the Definite Areas of Extraction.
Use the rule to help stay on the Straight Lines if you need!
(Having a very sharp X~acto knife really makes this job A LOT easier)
Very carefully! Cut all your lines ...
Using the tip of the X~acto, peel up a corner,
and slowly peel the contact paper off the jar.
If an area is not cut through all the way, gently slice.
Dab the etch creme on thickly!
Make sure that you get the corners so they will be evenly etched.
Let set for 15-20 minutes

Rinse and Dry











And Voila!
Glass Etch Rocks!
