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.

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!

Now, THIS is just way cute of any idea! Thanks for sharing!
You are so clever – those are positively beautiful 🙂
