After I copied 320 Sycamore’s idea about making glass hurricanes using Dollar Tree items I decided they would be beautiful with the nativity scene on them. I have a vinyl cutter and I have etching liquid. I could’ve done it with those but I have been itching to try Rust-Oleum’s frosted glass spray paint.
I got my glass hurricanes, cut out my vinyl nativity, stuck them on and I was ready for business.
Ready for the first coat!
Here they are after the second coat and the vinyl peeled away. It is hard to get a good pic of these in the daylight–I just made them this morning. I would definitely do another couple of coats if I did these again–which I will. I also think they would look lovely filled with cranberries or sand to the top with a little tea light. What do you think?
I did the actual nativity scene on the tallest, the 3 wise men and a camel on the middle one, and the shepherds with their sheep on the smallest.

The reason we celebrate!

Those are completely ADORABLE!
They turned out beautiful. I love your idea. Thanks for sharing.
I love frosted glass projects and yours turned out really well!

You know, I have etching creme too. And although I like that it doesn’t scratch or wash off, it’s not that easy to get a nice even finish. I may be switching to the frost paint soon. Great job. They really turned out beautiful.
Wow! You did a wonderful job on these! I have done a little glass etching, but nothing as lovely as these! They would make a great gift, too!
Have a blessed week!

I love this idea!! I just bought that spray paint and have been dying to try it out. I think I’m going to have to do this. Thanks for sharing!!
I’ve been wanting to try that for a while. It turned out great, however I love it with it sprayed and the vinyl on there. (Your third pictue) That looks awesome like that!
Those are fantastic! I love them.
I love them! great job!

Frosted glass spray paint? Awesome. Love this project! I’m featuring these at somedaycrafts.blogspot.com
You should totally sell that nativity pattern — there are a lot of people who would love to tackle this project and don’t have a vinyl cutter (including me) This would be a gorgeous gift! Very similar to this http://store.dayspring.com/nahucahotr.html
Just awesome!!!!!

Very nice and simple to do, great tute.
Those are gorgeous and I couldn’t love them more!
These are great. I had a similar idea but haven’t been able to find any good nativity clip art to use. Where did you get your patterns from for each hurricane?
That is an awesome twist. I thought I was crafty because I glued some snowflakes ornaments on the outside. But you are above and beyond!
May we have the printable nativity that you used!!!!!!!
Or if anyone knows where to find it!!!!
Love it!!!!!
I LOVE these! and frosted glass spray paint? love it!!
You did a beautiful job!
