She has 2 children - ages 6 and 7 - so I traced their handprint onto contact paper - then cut it out. I put the contact paper on the glass candle holder - one hand on each side - then thickly spread the etching cream over the rest of the glass. I also cut the year out of contact paper to etch into the bottom, so she would know what year it was when she received this. I put a candle in the middle then put a small bag of beach glass around the bottom of the candle. When the candle burns down a bit it will glow through their handprints. I thought it turned out so cute!
I already had the etching cream, sponge brush and contact paper on hand - I purchased the candle, glass candle holder and beach glass all from Michaels - with sales and coupons!
