Glass Etching, Beer Brewing, Decor it Yourself

Glass etching? How cool. I never thought of that before, but these would make really great gifts. For a wedding, or birthday. Fantastic!

give me sugetion gift for my boyfriend

I was kind of wondering myself....Ah well, they're more than likely busier than a cat on a tin roof!

whaere is fridays episode?

this is awesome. I love see the doggies at the end of the videos :-)

This is awesome! Many thanks to Meg and Erin!

Very Cool etching, but I use the acid better to etch. but I'll give it a world! :) I love how more and more peeps are brewing their own beer! and with HONEY? oh yumm!

haha my drimal has been in retirement 4 a wighle possible new project

I absolutely love Blick. Granted some of their stuff is more expensive, but they have such a massive amount of inventory that they're often the only providers I'm able to find for some things. They were the cheapest option for me to get the paper tape for the body form tut, because the office supply stores in my town are lame and don't carry it.

Where do you get your dishware thats in the beginning of the episode? I love it all. What are the brands? I am obsessed with dish ware and currently have an vintage robin egg blue set. I love your show and your house...I love all your vintage trinkets!

honey i love your sewing machine , where can i get one like it?

after watchin this i asked my dad if he had a dremel and he said no but i could get him one for his birthday

Wow, hand made beer...

Hmmm, I wonder if my husband or father-in-law has a dremel...

I prefer acid etching, you get such a cleaner look!

ohmygodohmygodohmygod!  We've been making our own beer since February!  I'm so happy to see this wonderful DIY craftiness here on TB!!!!!  (Gosh, I feel so far ahead of the trendiness curve!)  Yey for homebrewers!  Seriously, if you can make a loaf of bread, you can totally make your own beer.  :-)

What a cool and unique episode. Thanks for teaching us a new skill. And I love the adorable templates you provided, thank you!

If you don't want to buy the tool to do this, you can use a paste called armour etch. It can be found in michaels. However, this would be best used with a stencil. To make a stencil, use contact paper, cut your stencil out (I use my cricut machine for this) and place it however you like on your glass. Then, follow the directions on the Armour Etch bottle, smooth the paste over your stencil, wait LITERALLY ONE MINUTE, and rinse with water. Peel away the contact paper and voila!

I have a dremel! Never knew that thing could be used for glass etching... Can't wait to try!! Thankyou ^^

this xmas I've made two jars (one for my boyfriend and one for my brother) filled with candy and chocolate with the darth vader face engraved on it :)
it's easy but defenatly follow meg's advice: try first on an old glass u don't mind to ruine!

Eep!  Wear goggles too, please!

Another fab podcast  Since I have discovered your pcast about 2 mouths ago, I have been systematically going through a new and an old one to catch up.  Snip snip.  Matti – faroutflora.wordpress.com

I find it much easier to etch with the cream stuff. Cover the whole glass with masking tape, draw out what you want on the glass and then cut it out with an exacto-knife. Then all you really have to do is brush on the cream, let it sit and then wash it off and you're done.

Remember guys, don't drink and etch. xP
Thanks for the episode, super inspirational.

Is that a hair cut? ADORABLE! This is very cool but I am underage... shoot. Guess I'll just have to put lemonade in those awesome glasses.

very cool...call me naive, but the only glass etching i new of was the etching cream you buy at a craft store.

So, I posted these comments on youtube but I'll post em here too :P My dad has been brewing his own beer for years and instead of bottles he'll just use kegs. He also has a refrigerator in our garage (it's his sort of 'play' room with a pool table, darts, and his computer) and in the fridge he can fit a short keg and two tall skinny ones. He also attached two taps so that they are coming out of the door so you only have to open it to replace the kegs. It's all pretty cool looking. Also, if you don't want to brew beer or want something more kid friendly you can use the same stuff for home beer brewing to make rootbeer and cream soda.

Also, I'm gonna have to try out the glass etching and make some custom glasses for my dad's crisis center!

also depending on how much surface you will be etching, you might want goggles, and definatly wipe up with a damp cloth to get all of the glass bits off your work surface, happy etching!

AHHH!!! THATS MEEEEEEE!!!! :D

lol very awesome Meg!! good job! If someone wanted to make this a touch easier they can just draw on the glass itself with a marker then just wipe off the leftover marker marks with a wet rag when done etching the image.

from plushies to beer........WOW
