"Hi, I'm Robin with Trees-mom.com. We're continuing our glass etching video by doing custom etching on our glass pieces. And there's different things that you can do. The way I like to do it is to just print out things on my computer. This one would be perfect for this glass plate right here. And, this is one that I made to put on the bottom of a casserole dish, one of the glass casserole dishes. And then, when you take it to a function or you take it over to somebody's house for a pot luck, they get to the bottom of the dinner and it says the name or you could put "Home Sweet Home" or "Grandma's Treats" or whatever. Makes it really cute. These are ones that I printed out to put on a big mug like this. And these are very fun. Everybody appreciates these great big, huge glass mugs. And this is one that can be used on the bottom of a casserole dish or a plate. And those are just kind of fun things that I ran off on the computer. And, so after you decide what you're going to do and you can decide what to put it on. This one, actually, is a candle votive. And this is the one that we're going to be working on right now. You just put a little votive in there and light it and that we have the glass etched, it's going to look really nice. It's going to be a great gift."
