Hello, hello!! It's been awhile since I posted; life and school got in my way of DIY-ing. Good to be back crafting.
I was brainstorming what to get my boyfriend for his graduation present (because let's be honest, men are impossible to buy for). I turned to google for ideas, but none of those options were something he would like. Finally, I came to the conclusion of etched beer glasses (anything that has to do with drinking beer will interest him!!)
I picked up an 8 pack of pint sized glasses at Walmart for $7. What a steal! The only other materials I needed were the etching cream ($9 at Hobby Lobby), a paintbrush, and stickers. I was struggling to find a sticker I liked and then my roommate saved the day with this big "B" adhesive sticker (B for his last name). I used an electrical tape border to close in the etching cream.
Then, I put on a thick layer of etching cream onto the glass. Let this dry for 10-15 minutes. Next, use a sponge and warm water to gently rinse off the etching cream. I repeated these steps 2-3 times or until it looked like I wanted it to. I could only do one glass at a time since I only had one 'B' sticker.
They are not perfect, and far from my best DIY job, but I think they'll do the job of holding his beer! :)
A cheap, personalized, and somewhat easy gift, try it out!!
