A girlfriend needed a gift for the seniors on her son's bowling team but was on a budget. Trying to think of something that works for both boys and girls and something that they might actually keep and use, we came up with etched, glass mugs! This is a super easy process that has a great outcome. I use a Cricut to make my stencil, but you can use an exacto knife to cut out your design and it works just as well- just takes a bit more time.
As luck would have it, the Dollar Tree had just gotten in these glass mugs. I
cut the stencils out of vinyl, put on the etching cream, and voila! A
functional keepsake that looks pretty cool. She is going to fill them
with candy and wrap them up in school colored cellophane.
