This etched leaf candle jar are so pretty and would look amazing on a mantle,hall table,living room just about anywhere and it would make a great gift idea too. Looks like it is a simple technique to do and the etching can be used on other things too. Why not make your own homemade candle too for an added bonus. This would also make a great teacher gift or even Mother's Day gift.

Etched glass of any kind is always very pretty. It has a rich appearance to it and this is no exception. I just have to do it. I was raised in Vermont and now I'm in Florida so the leaves on this bring out my Fall feelings. I want to make a bunch of these. After reading thru the directions it should be easy enough. Thanks for sharing.
