I have done all kinds of things. Ash trays, bowls and glass panels in cupboard doors. I did vases for my daughters wedding-reception tables. I didn't like seeing the dishes in the cupboards so I removed the glass and did frosted designs on them. I didn't take pictures though, and we sold the house. Sorry. I did large items outside with large totes and garden hose to rinse. If you put the contact paper on the side you want to etch and tape the design on the opposite side, then take a craft knife and cut/remove the parts you want etched. Double check the edges of design -smooth with a credit card- then etch. Be sure to scrape extra cream off and put back into bottle to be reused then rinse. When dry check to be sure you didn't miss any spots. Reapply if needed. remove the contact paper. Make sure you do the design on the back side of item and you have the paper picture turned the correct way. It may be reversed depending on how you place it.
