Alright let's get started. The first thing you want to do is cut your stencil. For this design I did a google image search for the Facebook thumbs up, traced it and then typed out "Like" next to it. I live on coffee and Facebook (because I love my Silhouette School family!) so this mug about sums it up.
You want to cut the stencil on either the Oramask 831 Stencil Film or the $1 dollar store knockoff version which I talked about in-depth here. If you aren't familiar with cutting a sticky stencil, head over and read that tutorial before you move on since this tutorial on glass etching will assume you know how to cut, transfer, and adhere the stencil to the glass so you're ready to etch.
Before you put the stencil on clean the glass really well so it's free of fingerprints and smudges. Don't use glass cleaner, just some water and soap. Dry the surface really well.
I put my stencil on a dollar store mug...are you seeing where I'm going with this on.the.cheap project?!
Once your stencil is on your glass surface really well, tape off the edges with some painters tape. This will prevent any of the etching cream from getting on part of the glass where you don't want it.
Before you start etching...gather all of your supplies. The etching process is really fast and you want to make sure you have everything handy because leaving the etching cream on too long will mess up the end result.
Set up near a sink and protect your surface...then get everything within easy reach.

You'll need:
Etching Cream is pretty powerful stuff...hello, look what it does to glass in a couple minutes! So, don't skip the gloves. I'm just saying, you don't want your fingers burned...many of you were around when I burned three of my fingers a few months ago (not on etching cream) and if I ever needed an epidural it was for a hand burn and not the birth of my two kids! But I digress....just put on the gloves.
Open up the etching cream and using the paint brush blot a thick layer across the stencil. You want it thick so don't be afraid to really gob it on there.
Set your timer for 1 minute and wait. You can keep the etching cream on the glass longer and you will get a more intense etch, but the manufacturer (and I) suggest you start with the recommended 1 minute.
When the minute is up, check your etch and if you want it deeper, leave it on for longer. Once you like what you see, run the glass under luke warm water to remove the etching cream. Once all the cream is off, remove the painters tape and the stencil and re-wash and dry your glass really well.
And that's all there is to etching glass. You like?

Great directions! I have heard if you scrape off the etching cream with the scraper it can be reused, is that correct?
ReplyDeleteYES it is reusable. Put it back into the container and don't rinse it in a sink you love...
