OK, for Father's Day, I made gifts for the 2 most important Dads in my life, MY DAD & My Children's Dad(Hubby) I went to my local Dollar Tree store, and bought 2 plain glass Beer mugs. Opps, I somehow deleted the picture of the plain mugs....
Using my Cricut, I cut the words #1 DAD & #1 PopPop out of a sheet of black Vinyl... Carefully placed the stencils on the mugs... Don't forget to put on the tiny pieces cut out of the center fo the letters! I also used blue painter's tape to tape off a bit of area around the stencil incase i got messy. I then used one of the hundreds of paint brushes laying around my house to apply a nice liberal coat of Etching Cream. I use Armour Etch. the instructions say let sit 15 minutes, from personal experience i know 25-30 is better, this time I let it sit for an hour.
Then Run it under cool water and get all the cream off. Peel off the stencil and tape. Give the Mug a good wash. Let Dry, Wrap and present your gift...
Don't forget, fill with your (or dad's) favorite beverage, and ENJOY!!
