Candy Jar Etching

Sooo I have something to admit.

I have a HUGE weakness.

HUGE.

I. LOVE. Easter. Candy.

I mean LOVE.

Sooooo although I know it is a little early for Easter decor...

I couldn't stop myself from making an Easter candy jar...

{because lets face it, it was the perfect excuse to stock up on Robin's Eggs and Jellybeans!}

Andddd I had a chance to try out a technique I have been meaning to try for some time now!

Sweet and simple.

Just my style.

And I bet you would have never guessed that my sweet candy jar started out as a pickle jar....

Okay so maybe you would have :o)

But hey....cheap and simple---YES PLEASE!

Cutest pickle jar around right?!?

And yes I had to decorate the top with scrapbook paper and ribbon...

And Here is the "How To" part for the etching.

Clean out your pickle jar.

Cut a vinyl image {I used my silhouette cutter to do this part} or use a stencil and tape it to your jar.

Paint a thick layer of the etch on the glass.

And rinse off in a few minutes... {although the directions say 60 seconds}

You may wish to repeat the etching part twice.... I did because I wanted the image more noticeable...

perhaps I should have left the etch on longer?

Anyways, I like the look.

Not to obvious but festive at the same time.

What do you think?

Do I have you thinking about your favorite Easter Candy now?!?

And I must give all inspiration credit to the AMAZING Darby over at Life with the Hawleys!

She etched her pyrex------talk about clever right?!?!?

I am linking up my project at some of these amazing parties---be sure to check them out for some amazing inspiration!!!!
