Upcycled etched glass vase

We love to make pizza and consequently I have a lot of empty pizza sauce jars on my hands.  They are a great size a shape for vases, so I love to think of new ideas to "prettify" them.

For a sweet Valentine vase:

• I use My Digital Studio's Full Heart Punch and imported it to my e-cutter software (Did you know that the .svg files in My Digital Studio 2 can be imported and used with your e-cutter?!  They can!) 
• I used my e-cutter to then cut the heart shape out of self-adhesive vinyl.  
• I applied the vinyl to my jar and then applied etching cream* over the stencil.  *Follow the instructions on the etching cream and be extra cautious as this is a highly caustic chemical.

If you don't have My Digital Studio (why don't you?!) or an e-cutter you can still do this project easily - here's how:

• Cut a piece of adhesive vinyl sized to wrap around the jar
• Use the Small Heart punch (117193) and punch the shape into self-adhesive vinyl in a random pattern
• adhere the vinyl to your jar
• use etching creme as directed on package
