8 Gift Ideas Using The Glass Etching Technique

The technique of glass etching has been around for quite a while now, and while it may look to be a little complicated and intimidating, it truly is one of the easiest things you can do. Using this method, you are able to use the ordinary glass gift and take it up a step, making it more special and personalized.

Here are 8 ideas for you to use for that next gift you are in need of.

Another reason glass etching has become popular is the use of Cricut machines, creating customized Stencils with Cricut machine then using Armour Etch Glass etching paste to create the design. I have been using Armour etch since the 90’s and it is a tried and tested product and I have had great success with it. A little goes a long way so well worth the investment too. Armour Etch in my opinion is the best glass etching cream on the market and perfect for glass etching with Cricut designs.

I haven’t done glass etching for many years, I can’t even remember what I etched to be honest. I would like to get back into it and etch some glasses in my short term rental property with the name of our beach house on.

Learning about Hanukkah is important for people of all faiths as a reminder that December isn’t just about Christmas and that their are many other important holidays that happen during this time. Hanukkah unit studies can give you ideas for incorporating the holiday into your holiday studies that happen in December, or to use at home for learning about people of different faiths.

Homeschool Superfreak has a lot of basic ideas for how to build a Hanukkah unit study, as well as FAQs about what Hanukkah is and why it is celebrated. This list is a good stargint point but doesn’t include all the details you’ll need. For example it says you can play the dreidel game but doesn’t explain how to do that or why it’s important. (If you need that information, this post from Mama Smiles is a good source.)

Teachers Pay Teachers has lots of great lesson plans and activities if you’re willing to pay a little bit to get some good content. Two I really like are this Hanukkah PowerPoint presentation from Shelia Melton, which provides a good overview of traditions, food and the history of Hanukkah; and a virtual field trip to Jerusalem from MagiCore, which includes lots of videos showing the city and activities like playing dreidel, drawing a menorah and making latkes. It’s a Google Drive folder and also includes writing activities and more for kids in second to fifth grade.

Kids Activities Blog has some simple printables with facts about Hanukkah and things kids can color in like a Star of David, sufganiyots (jelly doughnuts) and a menorah. These are great for learning the basics.

Homeschool Giveaways has a printable ebook about Hanukkah complete with questions kids can answer after they read. This would be a good one for older kids with good reading comprehension.

NurtureStore’s Hanukkah unit study includes a printable mini book, tons of crafts, as well as math and writing activities. I love the dominoes game that’s part of the unit.
