Handmade Christmas - The Traveling Pyrex



My aunt and uncle are notorious for bringing food. They are very generous folks and their food is always welcome here. I imagine it's welcome at other people's houses as well. So when I saw this neat idea for a traveling casserole, I knew this was the gift for them.



It came together surprisingly easy. I was able to get the insulated batting online in a sleek Black Friday sale at Joanns...score! I also used it for the oven mitts and various other gifts!



I didn't get a picture of the side of this pyrex...bummer...I actually used etching cream and etched their name in it! It was a lot of work. I printed out their name and taped it to the side over contact paper. From there, I used an exacto to carefully carve out each letter. I used a paint brush to paint in each letter and I waited....ever so patiently...for several minutes. When I washed it off, the etching was perfect! They'll never lose this casserole! Perfect!!
