Personalized Jewelry Charm Locket

 Hi everyone! Tammy here today with a tutorial on how to personalize charm lockets with the Proxxon Glass Engraving Tool. I purchased one of these charm holders, and I decided to personalize it with my initial. Here is how I did it...

Supplies:

Proxxon Glass Engraving Tool

Glue Dots Removable

Printed "T" template

Paper punch .75"

Charm holder

Directions:
Print the initial to match the size of the space where you will be engraving. My space was a little under .75"

Use a paper punch to cut out the initial.

Place a removable Glue Dot on top of the template

Place the template face up on the back of the glass.

Use the Proxxon Glass Engraving Tool to etch the initial onto the glass.

Carefully remove the template and dust off any remaining dust from engraving. Fill in any missing areas of the engraving.

Add charms and a chain.

I love how this turned out so much that I think I may be making some of these for my friends for Christmas! (shhh don't tell anyone)

I hope this has given you another unique idea on how to use the Proxxon Glass Engraving Kit. This is one of my favorite tools from Proxxon!

Etched holiday votives with the Proxxon Glass Etching Tool

Hi everyone Steph Ackerman here today. 

As we approach the holidays, I love to create decorative elements to either use or give as gifts.  Today, I'm working with the Complete Glass Engraving Set to etch some glass votives.

Begin by stamping  a design on scrap paper and then tape it inside the votive.  My first design is a set of snowmen.

 

My second design is holly and berries.

Using the Glass Engraving Tool, just follow the lines of the stamped images. 

 

Carefully fill in certain elements of both designs to finish the pattern.  I added some "snow" along the bottom of the votive, then filled in the brim of the hats which are usually furry, as well as the letters to make them stand out more.

I filled in the holly and berries to make them more prominent.

 

 

Once they were finished, I realized they would make nice shot glasses too!

 

What will you etch today?

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

 

 

 

Personalized Christmas Ornament With The Proxxon Glass Engraving Set

Hi everyone! Tammy here today with a personalized Christmas ornament that I engraved with the Proxxon Glass Engraving Kit. I love to make Christmas ornaments for the members of my family every year. I love to base them on what is currently going on in their life. This year is the first year that my daughter is a cheerleader, so I thought it would be fun to make her this ornament. Here is how I made it.

Supplies:
Proxxon Glass Engraving Kit
Glass Christmas Ornament
Cheerleader silhouette
Removable Glue Dots
Sequins
Ribbon
Plastic gem
Black fine point Sharpie pen

Directions:

Print out the silhouette that you would like to trace with the Proxxon Glass Engraver and secure it to the back of the ornament with a couple Glue Dots. 

 Trace the silhouette with your Proxxon Glass Engraver tool.

Add sequins to the inside of the ornament.

Add a plastic gem to the top of the ornament with a Glue Dot.

Add a piece of ribbon to the loop at the top of the ornament so you will be able to hang it on your tree.

I also used a fine point Sharpie marker to outline the engraving so it would stand out more with the sequins inside.

My daughter loves her ornament so much she already has it hanging on her bookshelf in her room :) She told me she is looking forward to hanging it on the tree this year! It is so easy to make personalized items with the Proxxon Glass Engraving Kit, I hope you give it a try today!

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.

Directions:

1. Print a sentiment that you would like to trace with the engraving tool. 
2. Place Glue Dots on top of the sentiment.
