How-To: Frosted Glass Stenciling
Craftynest recently gave a makeover to her antique wooden bookcase, and the topping on the cake was a frosted stencil on its glass doors. If you've got a glass cabinet, vase, or even a mirror in need of a little facelift, you can easily recreate this look with a few supplies. All you'll need to repeat this project is glass cleaner, paper towels, a craft knife, a wet erase marker, contact paper, a large stencil, and Krylon Frosted Glass Finish in white.
DIY: Etched Glass Vase
If your boyfriend is a sweetheart, or just a guilty bouquet giver, you may be stuck with an army of plain glass vases that you'll never use. Don't clog up your cabinets, put 'em to work by giving them a fresh new look that you love, and drop some subtle hints to your man that they need not sit empty. This easy DIY will liven up your plain glass vases with a pattern that screams "you," not "1-800-Flowers."
