Beauty and the Beast rose dome tutorial

A Beauty and the Beast party wouldn’t be complete without the iconic rose dome. With this template, replicate the rose under the dome from the 2017 live-action film.

What you’ll need:

Beauty and the Beast frost printable template
masking tape
glass etcher (I used the Darice Crafter’s Toolbox Engraving Pen http://amzn.to/2mGa7cA
but any engraving pen that works on glass will do the trick http://amzn.to/2nbyMtt)
glass or gold base
faux red rose (I used a faux Ikea pink rose)
red food dye and vinegar (if dying from pink)
hot glue gun and sticks

Safety: glasses or goggles for eye protection

Print out the Beauty and the Beast frost template to trace on the rose dome, and using the masking tape, attach it to the inside of the glass.

Make sure you’re wearing glasses or goggles to protect your eyes, as you’re creating glass dust when you etch.

Use the template as a guide, but to get the design, ‘flick’ the etching pen while it’s running. Press slightly heavier and as you draw the line, lift the pressure, so the line tapers. As you move faster, it becomes a flicking motion.

Once you finish tracing one selection, move the template and tape and repeat, until you’ve completed the base.

Repeat with the top template, and use the long strand occasionally.

To finish off, take the engraver over all the lines with a gentler touch so the lines seem softer. (watch the video at the end of this post to see it in action).
