Etchall special

Afternoon everyone hope youre well,

Just before christmas I wanted to do something special 

with these champagne glass as it was are 30th anniversary on christmas eve

So I decided to etch the glass then using gilding flakes for the steam.

For all your Etchall products pop over to the web
Etchall
And there's some fab ideas as well.

So the first thing I did was tape the steam up

Then took a large plastic pot and put the glass in then the water 

till it covered the body of the glass and marked the level on the pot, 

Then taking the glass out and tipping the water away 

then dry both the glass and pot.

Put the glass back in the pot and fill to the mark of dip n etch

use a heave object to hold the glass in place.

Leave for 15 min then take it out of the pot and rinse with warm water
And dry with a lint free cloth.

Once you have done with the dip pour it back into the bottle

thats whats great with Etchall is you can re use over and over.

Once dry take the tape of the steam I used low tack tape so 

there is no stickiness on the glass. 

Take the glue for the gilding flacks I got mine from Imagination Crafts

Add the glue to the steam bit by bit then using a brush add the flacks 

do this till the steam is covered.

This is the finished glass now there was 2 but i smashed one while 

washing it LOL so I never got to use them as planed

this idea would look fabulous in one col flakes ie: gold silver,

So I hope you like this idea and give it a go.

but I could crochet lol
Today I did get to alter this box I used wrapping paper from Primark

I cover the entire box with it letting is scrunch up to give an older look,

.

I added some lace and organza ribbon 2 pairs scissors 

a little flower arrangement and a hart, on the front I use a large button

that is from Angela Holt's shabby chic kit and the top lace is also from the kit. 

Just befor Christmas we got some great new a close friend of ours are
