Monogrammed Candy Jar

I am digging this glass etching cream my friend Britten told me about last year. It's a little pricey, but use your Michaels coupon... and it lasts for quite a few projects.
I just used my Cricut to cut a frame from Storybook on adhesive vinyl. Place the negative of the image where you want on your glass item, then goop it up with a generous amount of the etching cream. After 5 minutes, rinse it off. Peel away your vinyl. Next, I cut out the O using Jasmine and repeated the previous steps. Voila! A cheap and QUICK custom gift.
