Etched Cookie Jar

I wanted to personalize a Christmas gift for someone special this year. I found a great glass canister and thought it would make a terrific personalized cookie jar.

So here is what I started with.

 

Here is a sample cut before I cut the adhesive paper.

Again, I used my etching cream, and $1 adhesive vinyl shelf paper for the stencil.  Apply the etching cream on designated spots and leave for 10 minutes.  Rinse off, or as a reader mentioned in my previous post, you can scrape it off save it and use it again.  Good tip!

After the initial etching I etched a few little flower touches here and there.

I filled the jar with a variety of delicious individually wrapped Italian Biscotti.

Now since Angela reads my blog every day, she will surely see her Christmas Present early.

Merry Christmas Ang, I couldn’t ask for a better co-worker!

On a side note, I am very pleased to announce that Online Degrees has compiled a list of the Top 50 DIY Craft Blogs for University and College students looking for ideas for gifts on a budget.

I am proud to be included in the top 50.
