Glass Etching with Joy

Today Joy is sharing with us another way to use the word art titles Lori has in the shop. I absolutely adore her project. What a fun way to showcase type, which I also love.  Joy says,

“I love working with Lori’s files in a number of ways.  They’re great for paper, fabric, vinyl, paint, just about anything you can think of!  Today I used her Christmas Word Art Vinyl 2 file .  They really are perfect for working with vinyl!  Instead of just applying vinyl to a mirror, which is a cool project on its own, I used the vinyl as a resist and added Armour Etch glass etching cream.  I let it sit for about 20 minutes…or so…actually, I ate dinner and lost track of time but then I got back to it!  I washed the cream off, removed the vinyl and voila, I had this awesome mirror.  I added washi tape around the edges to add a little color.  Don’t hesitate to try a glass etching project.  Just do what I did, buy your mirror at the Dollar Store.  Now with all that money you saved on a mirror, you can shop for more fun files!  See, I’m always thinking!  LOL!  Happy crafting!”

here is another view, no the words are not white, the light just reflects differently, creating a different look. Joy this is adorable. Thanks for sharing. Go check out more detailed instructions on Joy’s blog.
