MORE ITEMS FOR MEN ARE NEEDED!

During the holiday season I was looking hard on Etsy to try to find some neat gifts for men. I found it to be quite challenging. Since I have taken a little time off during the holidays, I did not have time to create a new Instructable for you. I did however search the Instructables to see if there was anything interesting to share.

I happen to come across this neat idea for a man bracelet. It is actually pretty masculine and something that many men would be comfortable wearing. This might be an idea for some to consider making for the men in their life, and maybe it will lead to selling online too! We sure could use a larger selection for our men....

Would You Like To Learn How to Paint Glasses?

I often receive questions from people who want to paint their own glasses for holidays and gifts. They have many questions from preparing the glass to baking it. I developed a class to teach others how to paint special glasses. Along with the class I created an Instructable that is easy to follow along with. It includes the basics from start to finish.

If you want to give it a try, just remember it is only glass and will wash off if you do not like your design. Trust me, I should know!! Even I have times where a glass may get washed off several times before I like the design.

Have fun and give it a try!
