DIY Skeleton Hands Etched GlassesYou’ve seen them. Those skeleton hands holding everything from bras to glasses. And if you’re anything like me you’ve wanted some but you just haven’t taken the plunge yet. The glasses, not the bra. Well, I decided to DIY my own Skeleton Hands Etched Glasses and you can, too! All you need is a half hour plus dry time and you’ve got yourself a set of four brand new skeleton hand glasses all for under $10 bucks!DIY Skeleton Hands Etched GlassesEver since our first house I’ve been a huge Big Lots fan. I can always count on them to have the best name brands at the best value. Which is great for someone like me who routinely changes her mind. Take the holidays for example. I love to decorate every square inch but I also love to change it up every year. I don’t love spending more than necessary so that’s where Big Lots comes in.
DIY Skeleton Hands Etched GlassesIt used to be my husband and I would take “date nights” to Big Lots to pick out things to decorate our house for Halloween. The house that all the kids in area wanted to trick or treat at. These days we have a couple of little Boils that tag along.

Suppplies:

  • Set of Libbey Glasses found at Big Lots
  • Adhesive-backed stencil
  • Etching cream
  • Small brush

DIY Skeleton Hands Etched GlassesAnytime I’m trying a DIY for the first time I want to a) make sure I didn’t spend a lot if it doesn’t work out and b) make sure it’s made up of quality products if it does! I got this set of 4 Libbey glasses (and I LOVE their shape) for around $5.

DIY Skeleton Hands Etched Glasses

When I saw them they immediately brought to mind skeleton hands wrapped around them.

DIY Skeleton Hands Etched GlassesSo I used my vinyl cutting machine to create some skeleton hands that were just the perfect size for wrapping around my glasses. You can grab the .SVG file I used to make your own here: Skeleton Hands.SVG. If you don’t have a vinyl cutting machine you can always used an adhesive backed stencil for this project.

DIY Skeleton Hands Etched GlassesBe sure to weed out the negative space of your vinyl stencil.

DIY Skeleton Hands Etched GlassesPrior to applying stencil to your glass be sure to wipe clean with alcohol first. If you’re using vinyl you know the importance of using the vinyl transfer material! If not, apply your stencil as you normally would.

DIY Skeleton Hands Etched GlassesBe certain to smooth down all of the edges.

DIY Skeleton Hands Etched Glasses Remove your transfer material (if using). And you’re ready to get started!

DIY Skeleton Hands Etched GlassesApply a thick coat of your etching cream and, per manufacturers instructions, allow time for it to do its thing! Mine was done in 15 mins.

DIY Skeleton Hands Etched GlassesAnd then…..you’ll have this!! How cool is that!

DIY Skeleton Hands Etched GlassesYou can have an entire set of spooky skeleton hand glasses this Halloween for under $10! What’s your favorite way to get the cool stuff you want without spending more than you have to?
