I used the Cricut mini, lyrical letters, vinyl and Martha Stewart etching paint to creat a super easy monogrammed hurricane candle hold! Wow, that was quite the sentence.
Here are the supplies:

Vinyl (I use laminate or adhesive shelf paper it is so much cheaper)
You favorite Cricut font cartridge I used Lyrical Letters

Hurricane glass candle holder 8 to 12 inches
Foam brush
Candle of your choice
1.)cut out first letter of your last name
2.)place negative cut out onto glass
3.)center initial
4.)gently rub vinyl to seal edges
5.)with a foam brush paint glass with etching paint
6.) let paint dry and put another coat on- I use three coats
7.)place candle in holder, light, enjoy!
