Hi everyone and Happy Friday! First, I wanted to let you know that Jaxen’s little hospital visit and minor surgery went well- he was back to himself in just a few short hours after he woke up from the anesthesia. Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers!
I also have this floating frame that I bought from Joann’s or half off- which made it $10. It is 16×20, and when I bought it, I kind of knew what I wanted to do with it- but, wasn’t 100% sure. I knew I wanted to use etching vinyl- which is vinyl, that is crystal like, so it gives an awesome etched glass look when it’s applied to glass. Love this stuff- because etching cream can be finicky. 🙂
I wanted to not only personalize it with our last name- but our first names too- because we try to stress individuality in our little home. But- if you don’t like that, you can always put established and a year at the bottom too.
The picture I put in the frame was 8×10, and I centered it in between the glass panes, before I decided how big I wanted to cut the vinyl letters.
Since it’s see through- It was hard to photograph it- but, I wanted to try to show off the vinyl so you could see that it looks etched. The etched vinyl is placed on the outside of the glass, and the fonts I used are: Qumpellka No. 12 for the top, and Playball for the bottom.
I LOVE how it turned out- It would make a great gift for someone- a wedding, an anniversary, a baby gift- almost anything! 🙂
Yay- it seriously makes me so happy!!
So…tonight I am off to volunteer at Alexis’ Reading night- and then tomorrow is her birthday party- though her birthday is not til the 2nd of May. Wish me luck on that- and I promise I will post pics of all that we’ve made and put together for the party.
Then…Sunday we have a Pink by Design event and make in take in Omaha! 🙂 So, please if you are nearby–stop in and see us!
Thanks for stopping by today- and have a great weekend everyone! 🙂
I love your frame! I like the addition of your first names. Glad Jaxen is doing well! Have fun at reading night, the party and in Omaha!
So pretty and what a great family shot! You are so creative!
Awesome family picture! The frame is fabulous!
I’m so glad Jaxon is alright! Thanks for the update! Good luck in your busy weekend!!

Jenny and I can’t wait to see you on Sunday!!!! When you etch a glass for a frame, do you etch the outside of the glass or the inside (image reversed)? Your frame is just gorgeous!!!
I can’t wait either!! 🙂 I did the outside of the glass. 🙂
LOVE your frame!!! I have to try this.
Glad to hear Jaxen is better!!

How fun!!! I’ve done the same idea (without picture) for a baby shower and wedding. Now I just need to do one for my house. haha
Hi Sarah,
Just came across your site…love it! How did you attach your family picture to the inside of the glass? Did you use some type of adhesive? Thanks.
Hi Minna- the frame comes with 2 pieces of glass- so I just slipped it in between, and it holds it nice and tight- no adhesive needed 🙂
