Give your Glass a Special Look! Emboss Glass!
Posted by Lyschel Bersch on
I have been turning on the creative juices lately in regards to packaging. I have these really cute triangle diffuser oil bottles that I wanted to jazz up a little. I had about 20 minutes to play around and I came up with embossed glass! I am not a scrapbook-er but I have a lot of supplies around for things that I want to try with candle packaging.
I am by no means an expert on any of this! I am just sharing what worked for me. I didn't have an "embossing buddy" so I used a tea bag to make sure my bottle was clean and dry and static free.

I used a removable clear stamp on a clear block so I could see through the block to see if all of the stamp was making contact with the glass. If it didn't make contact everywhere I just washed off the Versamark and started over.
I then poured my embossing powder on my mark, tapped off the excess and blew on the mark to remove stray powder. I poured the excess powder back in the jar.
I then heated the mark with a heat gun. I started on low and moved to high. It took about a minute and the powder changed color and became shinny. Be careful as the glass can get very hot.
If there are any stray specks they can be scraped off with a fingernail. Otherwise the mark is pretty durable and can even be washed gently if needed to remove dirt or fingerprints. So easy and so cute!
