Trial-Run Frosted Vase {Etched Appeal}

Since I wasn't able to get much done for the blog last week due to the hurricane, here is an item I had created last school year as a teachers appreciation gift.
Well this was actually created for the practice/trial run. It was created before I got into blogging and creative websites for ideas of how to do things, so I had to actually do the trial and error myself.
With that being said, this vase has many imperfections, but I didn't want to throw away a perfectly good vase so I kept it for myself.
I try to avoid over-filling the vase with stems that way the imperfections wont be as noticeable and most people don't notice unless they are examining it closely.

 

 The photo above gives you a better idea of how these vases look when in use as well as a different designs that you may want to create. It also illustrates the imperfections more intensely than in person being I edited the photo somewhat. 

 You can see the actual vases created for my son's teachers with a simple tutorial on a previous post, Frosted Vase Etched appeal and also my Mini Frosted Vases by clicking the titles in blue.

These made wonderful gifts for my son's  teachers for teacher's appreciation week. They loved them!!

Instead of placing the traditional flowers in them, I rolled up a poem I printed out and decorated being it was a pouring down with rain that morning.

Sorry I didn't take a picture of the end result!! I have a couple more to make, so I will try to post a picture with everything included soon!!

Here are the Poems I rolled up and put into the vases for my son's teachers. The pictures are a little dark so it may be a little hard to see them; sorry about that.
