I made my mom a basket type thing to hold a flower pot. I used newspaper and made paper mache, but in a pulp form, just throw everything into a food processor! Then formed it to a big serving bowl. As it was drying i added an assortment of wild flower seeds to the outside. So after mom received her pot she broke it up watered it down and threw it in and around the garden, then pop up came the flowers really really easy project, you can make it different colors by using food dye or even different colors of paper. Have fun!

Meghan – Yes, it’s safe. In fact, if you etch on something edible, like a pie plate or pan, it’s best to dish wash it first. And I don’t think I use enough of the cream at one time to harm the sink. I’ve been making lots of these, so I think it’s okay.

I LOVE this idea but had a few questions. Is it dishwasher safe after the etching cream? Is it safe to wash off the excess down the sink? I just know how potent it is, so I wanted to check before I used it. Love your site and ideas!! You are so creative!

Megan – I actually mean the Kitchen/Home section of a Walmart. It’s usually found with the wire dish washing containers. I guess it’s called “Shelf Liner”, same thing. I hope that helps. Sorry, I should have been more specific. I changed how it reads in my post!

I can NEVER find contact paper. Are you saying it’s in the kitchen section of a craft store? Even the employees at the 3 different craft chains I’ve been to claim they don’t carry contact paper, but I’d LOVE to prove them wrong!

I have always wondered if glass etching was hard. Thanks for posting. It looks like something even I could do (not very crafty though I want to be).
