Ornament Challenge 2011: Etched Glass Ornaments

Christmas· Seasonal

I used the images contained in the kit for some and then I decided to use tape to create stripes for the others.  There is a photo at the bottom that shows the tape strips being applied.

Supplies:

  • Clear Disc Glass Ornament – 80 mm
  • Starter Glass Etching Kit 
  • Petaloo™ Poinsettia Blossoms – Red
  • 2.5 inch Sheer Organza Ribbon in Moss
  • 6 inch Ivory Tulle
  • Neon Pink Opaque Pony Beads
  • Magenta Studio 71 Acrylic Paint
  • Paint Brush
Directions:
1.  Etch ornaments according to manufacturer’s directions.  Clean thoroughly and dry.
2.  Paint several coats on backside of ornament.  Allow the ornament to dry between coats.
3.  Place pink pony beads inside of ornament.
4.  Cut a 6″ strip of tulle and tie in a knot on the top of the ornament.
5.  Cut a 6″ strip of ribbon and tie in a knot on the top of the ornament.
6.  Place poinsettia on bow.

    I just love what you created with this ornament. It prompted me to buy a couple dozen disk glass globes and some beads. What with my leftover sock yarn strings, glitter etc. I will have a field day in Jan. which is when I start my holiday gifts for the end of the year ahead.

    What sort of tape did you use to make the stripes???? It looks like that thn really sticky tape used for scrapbooks etc. But it would be hard to remove wouldn’t it??? thanks for your assistance on that.
