Create Tiny Frosted Panes for Your Christmas Tree

There's nothing quite as beautiful as a frosted windowpane on a cold winter morning. Why not transform your Christmas tree ornaments into tiny little frosted windowpanes? The process is simple, just follow the steps below:

You will need:

• Wax paper
• Clear glass ornaments with removable metal caps
• Glass cleaner
• Paper towels
• Self-adhesive letters
• Square Styrofoam block
• Drinking straws
• Rubber gloves
• Etching cream
• Sponge brush
• Hand towel

1. Spread wax paper on a flat, clean surface
2. Remove the caps from the ornaments and set aside.
3. Spray ornaments with the glass cleaner and wipe of all smudges and finger prints with a paper towel.
4. Use the self-adhesive letters to spell out anything that you would like (Noel, X-mas, etc.).
5. Place the Styrofoam block in the middle of the surface and insert a few drinking straws into it.
6. Put on the rubber gloves then apply a thick coating of etching cream using the sponge brush. Let balls sit for 5 minutes.
7. Still wearing the gloves, take the balls off of the straws and place under cool running water.
8. Pat balls dry with towel and recap the ornaments.
