What do you give teenagers for Christmas? That was my biggest question. I was at a loss about what to give my nieces and nephew for Christmas. Then I thought of etching mugs with their names and filling them with marshmallows, hot cocoa mixes and candy canes.
This is what they look like filled. I packaged them really cute, but of course, I forgot to take a picture. Here are some up close shots of the mugs. It’s very hard to get a picture of etched glass, but I think I did ok…not perfect, but you get the idea.
I used my Cricut to cut the names out of contact paper and then used etching cream. I left the etching cream on for 30 minutes. I find leaving it on that long worked pretty well for me. They were really excited about them, so I knew my little idea was a success. That’s a really nice feeling.
Thanks for stopping by, have a blessed day!
