You don’t have to just stop at the holidays either. Glass etching is perfect for all of your special occasions. Whether it be an engagement party, wedding or birthday extravaganza, make it personal! Here is how to get started.

You will Need:

• Ruler

• Water Source
• Gloves
• Glasses
• Glassware
• Exacto knife
• Stencils
• Etching cream
• Paint brush
• Contact paper

How-To:

1. Clean the glassware to remove all grease. If glassware is dirty it will be more difficult to do the etching process.

2. Choose stencil design and carefully cut the stencil sheet and frosted baking sheet together apply to the glass. Measure to see where you’d like to see your stencil on your glass.

3. Transfer the stencil onto the glass from the sheet. Rub up and down and side to side.

4. Once the entire stencil has been adhered, remove the top sheet.

5. Prepare the glass for etching. Apply masking tape around the stencil.

6. Apply a thick layer of the cream. It’s important to be in a well ventilated area.

7. Let cream sit fo 60 seconds! Remove etching cream and stencil. Immediately wash off the etching cream with water. Clean and dry.
