DIY: Etched Glass

Etched Glass Instructions 

 

Materials:

Etching cream

Masking tape or vinyl

Paintbrush

 

 

Instructions:

Choose your glass and design. A Silhoutte or Cricut die-cutting machine works best but you can also use a stencil or cut out by hand. When applying your design, always clean and dry the glass first; press the design onto the glass and rub hard.

Using a paintbrush, apply a thick layer of etching cream to the glass. (Avoid spills, since cream will leave permanent marks.) Wait one hour for better results, then rinse off the cream with warm water and remove the stencil.

 

Sit back and enjoy your new glass.

Note: To make a monogram stencil, place the desired letter on the sticky side of a piece of contact paper. Trace the letter, then cut out around the letter, creating the template. (Keep the center cut-outs of letters such as O and A.) Stick the template on your glass and follow above instructions.
