My daughter attends a private school that doesn't have sports or dances and such. I never thought she would be able to attend something like Homecoming or Prom. She has a boyfriend who transferred to a different school and he invited her to Homecoming this year. This is her first time receiving any flowers from a boy so it was doubly special for her. We wanted to preserve the memory so we dried the rose and I made a special container for it. Follow along below to see how Etchall made this possible.

Materials:

• Etchall Bee-ginner Kit
• Cricut Maker
• Black Sparkle Tape (Tape Technologies)
• Glass Jar
• Q-tips

Directions:

We needed to dry the rose. To do so, you hang it upside down in a dry place for a few days. I used some twine and hung it in a closet so it wouldn't be disturbed. 

I wrapped the upper rim of the jar with the sparkle tape

I used my cell phone to design the type and my Cricut Maker to cut the vinyl for etching.

Once the vinyl was weeded, I transferred it to the glass jar.

Using a Q-tip I covered the text with the Etchall cream and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Then I placed the excess Etchall cream back into the bottle and rinsed the glass jar with warm water.
Then I removed the stencil and rinsed the glass jar again.

Here is a close-up of the front of the glass jar.
It is really small, about 2" wide.

I was so surprised at how well the smallest of details held up, like the center of the letter e.

My daughter is thrilled with her keepsake.
