I am not sure if she blasted through them enough to see the white, but this makes a great idea to add paint on them regardless. As many of you know, some of these type of mugs will expose the white ceramic color when sandblasting through the glaze enough. The below is another project she shared that was etched and painted with a firefighter logo. Casserole Dish Etchingīelow is the casserole dish she mentioned etching and coloring with a darker permanent paint which is provided in our paint kits. On the right is the diamond hole saw which is usually used for glass, ceramic and tile. On the left is some sort of holder she mentioned which helps guide the drill placement steady. On baking the paint on the casserole dish- I turned it with the paint at top while baking so won’t stick to rack.Īlso, it is very important to let these cool down in the oven over next 3-4 hrs. Toaster oven cools down quickly resulting in block cracking. Use a regular oven to bake blocks not a toaster oven. I strongly suggest using led string light because they do not get as hot as regular string lights. I frost painted inside of blocks to give frosted effect. Heat-drilling, then cold water causes cracks. I found using warm water prevent both shards flaking off or cracks. Everyone says to use cold water when drilling glass. The little cup holder helps a lot (See below). I had to drill a hole in blocks with diamond drill. The casserole dish and cups was also sandcarved and painted with Pebeo and baked. Sandcarved, then painted with Pebeo paint, then baked per instructions. The first 3 are custom orders on recycled glass blocks. People want quality and good taste.Cheryl provided the below details on these projects: Good Luck Everyone! Your creativity can really shine in these blocks. You can phone a glass company to see if they will drill the holes for you but it's approx $10.00 per block. JoAnn's is $23.00, so you must go with a coupon but that only gives you one. All kinds of uses for the block are also on the box. Same block but hole is already there.Īn insert is also enclosed in the box to put in the hole. This year Pittsburgh Corning has a new Decor Block out. To make a long story short I'm selling for $60.00 a pair. I gave a wedding gift and a set of lights at a wedding and the guests were coming to see if I would make them a set. I am selling this year in sets of 2 Decorated for Christmas to just friends who want them for others. Remember you get a case of 10 blocks for $60.00 but you will lose some to breakage without a doubt.
