Monogrammed Mason Jars
Supplies: jars, vinyl, etching cream (available at most craft stores)
I picked up four jars for only $.49 each at Goodwill.
I cut the letters from a piece of vinyl using my Cricut (Plantin SchoolBook font). Make sure you leave space in between each letter so you have room to cut it out (I'm showing my "what not to do" example laying on the table :). I also found it helping to increase the blade pressure on the Cricut to make sure it cuts all the way through. Peel backing and lay it on each jar, making sure the edges are pushed down.
Apply etching cream and leave on approx. 5 minutes. I'd smooth it out more next time :)
After 5 minutes, just rinse with water and peel the vinyl off.
I love how they turned out. Now I just need to make some iced tea!
I also did this for Father's Day using a large glass w/ a handle. I monogrammed it for my dad and wrapped it up w/ some root beer and vanilla ice cream - he loved it!
I'm sharing my craft at Skip to my Lou. They have 'Made By You Monday' - lots of fun stuff to check out!
