Help with handmade glass engraving for the Christmas gift - engraved glass jewelry box?
I'm going to buy a jewelry box for men a gift, and I want to customize the glass top. I know that the paintings are burning, but I wonder if it's possible that I use because I do not know whether I can to remove the window box (and therefore will not be able to use tap water to clean the paint). I guess not a good idea to clean. Is this something I can do alone? Should I take care professionals from somewhere?
I would seek help from your local craft store. Must be able to show how and what to use. Make sure you do not want to remove this hard to burn. I would use blue painters tape.
