I'm starting up a craft club that will meet one evening a month at my house. We'll choose a project and complete it together. The first project will be this CUTE glass etched trifle bowl:
You don't have to bring a trifle bowl. You could etch bar glasses, a mirror, a vase, jars, basically anything glass with a smooth surface.
Here's how it will work. You bring the glass piece(s) you want to etch as well as a printout of the design you want etched. I'll provide all other supplies for a $5 per person supply fee.
If you aren't sure where to look for free online designs, let me know and I'll direct you to the right spot!
Email me or leave a comment if you want to come. Spirits welcome! Feel free to invite friends.
The first McKinney Marthas meeting will be Thursday, April 30 at 8:00pm. The whole thing will take less than an hour but you are welcome to stay and hang out a bit :)
