Howdy Ho!
Welcome to another week of "Stick a Pin in it."
Each Wednesday I highlight a project I did during the week using inspiration gained from Pinterest, hence "pinspiration."
This week I took a fun idea from 7th House on the Left (a super cute DIY Home blog...a must to check out). Originally, their idea used frosted vinyl on a door, I was more inspired to take vinyl and use it to etch my name into my baking dishes.
I don't do much baking, but personalized dishes sounded fun...
For this project you will need:
Silhouette Cameo (or another cutting machine of choice)
Vinyl
I designed each bake dish on my Silhouette Cameo, once I had the right dimensions I then printed (or cut) out my design then I laid each design on the back side of my baking dish.
***VERY Important***
For aesthetic purposes I have my designs going from right-to-left so you can see what they look like. But actually I cut out the design with the words backwards so that when you look in the dish you can read it properly.
Capiche?
If you want a great tutorial on how to use vinyl and the Silhouette visit these lovely ladies.
Once I put the etching cream over the glass I let it sit for 15-20 minutes then I washed it off and voila!
For this dish I used:
Fonts: Honey Script and Levenim MT
Bunting: 3 banners by Silhouette
For this dish I used:
Fonts: Honey Script and Geosanslight
Polk-a-dots: medium circle pattern by Silhouette
Enjoy!
Also, if you sent me an email wanting a Pinterest invite and still haven't got one yet please email me again...last week I got inundated with emails so I may have missed it. Sorry folks :)

Love this idea!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job on the etching! Thanks for the chance to link up as well!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it!! Such a great idea. I hate when I take food somewhere and never get my dish back! :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know glass etching was so easy (or at least you make it seem easy). I'll have to try that out! Thanks for the post Halsey
ReplyDeleteSuch a smart idea! You'll always get your dish back!
ReplyDeleteAre the dishes safe for oven use after etching I mean heat wise once the glass has been etched? I have really been wanting to do some of these as gifts but I wasn't sure. Love your designs
ReplyDeleteThis is just genius!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso wondering the safety of this. I have heard that it can disrupt the bond on dishes such as pyrex. Have you had any issues? I would hate to give as a gift and have it explode!
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteSo once you stick the vinyl on the glass, you cover the glass around the vinyl with the etching cream? Im a bit confused. Please help. Wanting to do this for my step mother for Christmas!
Thank you!!
