Creating Halloween projects with the Proxxon Glass Engraving Tool

Hi everyone Steph Ackerman here today.  Have you seen the Complete Glass Engraving Set?  This set comes with the tool, the bits, a glass and several patterns to get you started. 

Since we are nearing Halloween, I wanted to create a gift for a friend.  I found this purple glass mug and knew it would be a perfect Halloween gift.  Using a large stamp from Just For Fun Rubber Stamps, I stamped a tree on scrap paper then taped it inside the mug.

Using the Engraving Tool,  I traced the image on the glass following the pattern.

And this is the result.  The Engraver is extremely light weight and easy to use.

 

As this is to be a gift, I placed some glitter beads in the mug. 

Rather than wrapping the mug, I used the Bowdabra to create a bow and tied it to the handle.

 

 

I love how this turned out and can't wait to engrave some more gifts.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

 

 

 

 

Christmas Ribbon Tree With Pearl Star

Happy holidays everyone! Tammy here with a fun ribbon Christmas tree tutorial using my favorite Hot Wire Cutter from Proxxon Tools.

Supplies used:

Tree form

Ribbon

Proxxon Hot Wire Cutter

Straight pins

Smoothfoam

Ann Butler Designs Iridescents from Earth Safe Finishes

Star image

How I made it:

Cut ribbon pieces about 6 inches 

Fold them in half and secure each one with a straight pin.

Print and cut out a star image and trace the image onto a piece of Smoothfoam

Cut the Smoothfoam as shown in this tutorial video:

I painted my star with Ann Butler Designs Iridescents from Earth Safe Finishes in the Russet color

I added pearl push pins as decorations to the star 

Secure the star to the top of the tree with more pearl push pins.

I love how my tree turned out! It looks so cute with the Rustic Christmas Wreath I made in my last post. I hope this gives you some ideas on how easy it is to use the Proxxon Hot Wire Cutter. 

The possibilities are endless!
