Hey there!
My name is Melysa and I am just thrilled to be sharing this guest post with
Courtney and the Between U & Me readers!
A little bit about me; I am a wife, successful career woman, and
(most importantly) a mom to a handsome, almost 5 year old little man.
Boy how time flies. I have a little blog called
where I share crafts, recipes, helpful tips and decor ideas.
I hope you like this post and come over to visit!
One of my favorite hobbies is working with glass in all forms;
stained glass, fused glass, mosaics, etc.
Today I am sharing a tutorial on etched glass drink coasters.
Below is how I make my own tiles, but you can also purchase
clear glass 4 inch square tiles at any of the large
home improvement stores.
I start with a large sheet of glass.
I cut it into 4 inch strips, and then cut again to make a 4X4 inch square.
I am cutting 4 tiles for a set of coasters.
Here is my cut square. You can see the sharp edges.
I pop the squares into my glass kiln for 4 hours to
polish the edges smooth.
The blue you see below is called kiln wash, it prevents the glass
sticking to the kiln.
