Roses Are Blue Canister Set

Roses are red, violets are blue….hey… wait a minute! These roses are blue! Well the glass is anyway, and quite handsome if I say so myself. It would look awesome on a red canister set as well.

The rose designs are amongst our most popular. They are so versatile, handsome and accommodating to almost any type of glass project. The ones for this project are from our Made-to-order line, so you can order them in the size you need from 5×5 to 20×20. If you need smaller roses, we have assorted designs in the Rub N Etch pre-made stencil line including 2 new ones 20-0109 and 20-0110. Just type the word “Roses” in the search box to see all your options. You can also go to “Browse by subject” under the Glass Etching Stencils category and then on “Roses”
