Etched Candle Holder

After failing at my first attempt with etching cream, I decided it was time to try again. Jesscia at Quarter Life Crisis had a great tutorial on how she worked with etching projects.

Here is what I started with:

 

• Candle holder
• Contact paper
• Etching Cream
• Scissors
• Candle

Step 1 - Cut strips of contact paper

Step 2 - Apply them at intervals to the candle holder

 

Step 3 - Apply the etching cream, liberally and leave on longer than it says to. 

 

 (I still didn't use it quite liberally enough... grrrr)

Step 4 - Rinse and dry. 

 

It isn't perfect, but it is much better.
