I cut an Eiffel tower from vinyl from "Summer in Paris" cartridge. I want to try so much more different projects using vinyl.

Would love to see your project. Picture is quite large. Can you reduce it down?

I 'm not sure how to make it smaller. I saw how it looked so I know what you mean but I tapped on it and I was
Able to see it. This afternoon I 'm attempting to put it on Facebook, if it works, I 'll let you know. Jennifer

That is fine with me, like i said i am not able to do certain things on this still. Glad you like the project. My daughter likes it as well. My next task is to try to attempt glass etching again and put the eiffel tower on a glass block with lights for her room. I have been practicing on recylced Salsa jars for now before spending money on supplies. Thank you again for helping. Jennifer

Yes vinyl is fun. I will try etching this week or weekend. I didn't do well the first try last year but I 'm trying again. We 'll see. Thanks for all the compliments, makes me eager to try more experiments.

I only tried etching a couple of times to help out a friend. If you're using the cream, make sure the glass is really clean. I wiped it down with an alcohol wipe and I left the cream on a lot longer than what was given on the instructions. The wine glasses came out really well.

Thanks, I pre wash all my glasses first. Then I wiped them with roubbing alcohol and a cotton ball.
I have been practicing on salsa jars. I will take a piure and post it if I can. Thanks for everyone 's feedback. Jennifer
