Have you noticed that organization is "in" now?
Having your home not only organized, but beautifully presented is in... somewhat thanks to Martha Stewart.
And here she goes again with an easy tutorial on how to etch glass like the jars above.
All you need is etching cream, vinyl letters, painter's tape and a paintbrush.
Here's how you do it:
1. Clean and dry the glass. Using painter's tape, mark off the area you want to etch. Attach vinyl stick-on letters and decorative tape; press hard to ensure they are attached firmly.
2. Cover work surfaces (be sure to work in a well-ventilated area). Put on protective gloves and an old shirt with long sleeves. Paint an even layer of etching cream onto glass. Let stand for amount of time indicated by manufacturer's instructions.
3. Rinse with warm water in a stainless steel sink. (Avoid porcelain sinks; the cream damages glazed surfaces.) Remove letters and tape.
A set of jars would be a great housewarming or wedding gift! The same instructions can be used to make a pretty monogram on a glass platter or wine glasses, etc. for a personalized gift!
