Glass Etch Butterfly Vase Using Cricut Wall Decor and More
This caterpillar of a vase really did turn into a butterfly!
You’re going to laugh. Um…this previously plain glass vase came out of a recycling bin. I found about 7 perfectly good AND CLEAN vases sitting in the recycling bin of someone in my neighborhood. I didn’t know the people and frankly I think the house was empty (it was for sale) and this was their “moving out” junk. I don’t normally go hunting for things laid out for garbage, but I felt exceptionally lucky to spot this. I just couldn’t say no to it. I made DH drive me back to it in his car so I could scoop up all my loot. I knew they would be perfect for glass etching and I was right!
The funny part…um…I gave this vase to my sister-in-law for her b’day. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with the vase, ok? It’s called recycling, people!! Don’t judge me! 😉 I did make sure there were some flowers for the vase. No, I didn’t take the flowers from a neighbors yard too. Don’t be a wiseguy. (Plus, nothing good was blooming. I’m just sayin’.)
I used vinyl to make a template for the butterflies. The butterflies are all from the Wall Decor and More Cricut cartridge. I cut the big one at 3″, another at 2″ and two of them at 1.5″. Just use some Armour Etch
I hope your daily exercise also uncovers good treasures like this neighborhood walk did for me! Oh, with the promise of lurking craft supplies who knows what exercising I might achieve! 😉
