Day 2 – CHA…I want a Cricut! To Etch Glass

So as I wandered around Day 2 at CHA, The Craft and Hobby Association Show…I kept passing the Provo booth where it was cake madness. I know this section is supposed to be about glass but I’ll get there. They had a cricut machinbe that cut fondant frosting for cakes. Crazy. Intricate designs on a cake. Cake bakers and decorators are going to go nuts! But I want a cricut for the glass etching possibilites. So I went over to talk with one of their people. I met the nicest lady, Maggie Lamarre, who used to write here at craftgossip.com and started talking glass etching. She showed me a mug she had etched…I want a cricut!! The graphic artist in me wants a cricut!! Oh and check out Maggie’s blog at cuttlebugchallenge.blogspot.com.

I have a cricut, but this is the first I have heard of it etching glass. Do you have any information on how to do it?

Oh wow! Not only can we use cricut for paper and fabric but cakes and glass. For some time I have wondered how to use products made for one craft and apply them to another.

I don’t yet have a cricut but will soon…the woman I spoke with at the booth uses contact paper and applies the cut paper to the glass and then etches the exposed glass. As soon as I get one of those cute contraptions I’ll put together a tutorial. So cool!!!
