How to Make a Personalized Father's Day Gift
6:07:00 AM
Trying to find the perfect Father's Day gift
is not always easy.
But this hand-made gift is perfect in every way for the young dads in our family.
On a recent trip to Target I found these glasses in the dollar section... well $3 section to be exact.
They're cute but definitely not special enough.
Until I had the idea to get crafty with them.
I used my vinyl cutter to cut out the birth dates of my grandchildren. One Dad has 2 boys and the other has one on the way.
This mother of 4 girls is finally getting her boys in the form of grandsons!
I attached the vinyl stencil to the back of the glass and pressed down around all the edges.
I used a product called Armour Etch glass etching cream (affiliate link) and painted it on the stencil. The directions say to leave it on for one minute but I found it needed double that time on my glasses. *It is important to follow the manufacturers directions.
When the time was up I rinsed off the cream then pulled off the vinyl stencil.
You will want to wash and dry the glass.
The etching worked perfectly, it is just a little hard to photograph. I put a dark piece of paper inside the glass so you could see it a little better.
This made the cutest gift for the special Dad and Dad to-be.
I wrapped it in a gift bag with their favorite beer!
This was the perfect way to personalize an inexpensive
gift to give it meaning to the dads in our lives.
Have a beer Dads... you deserve it!
