Plain glassware can take on a new life as fun, personalized home decor. It's possible thanks to a product called etching cream.
Frosted Effect. Etching cream permanently abrades the surface of glass to create a frosted effect. Just apply the cream, leave it on for about 15 minutes, rinse the glass, and repeat as needed to achieve the look you want.
One style option is to use big hole punches to make a unique pattern on contact paper. Wrap the paper around the jar, and apply etching cream to the circles.
Applying circles to the jar is another option. Then create borders with electrical tape, and fill the entire area with etching cream.
Add self-adhesive letters for a different twist on the same idea. This lets you personalize glassware with someone's initials.
These beautiful custom containers are perfect for storing snacks at your next holiday gathering. But etched glass containers certainly aren't limited to seasonal use - you can enjoy these decorative accents all year!
