Glass etching!

I am SO glad I did this!

I decided to etch our name as well as some cute designs on my glassware. Don’t you just hate it when you make something really delish for someone and you want it to be warm and so you keep it in your glassware and then….you never get your pans back. I miss my pans and I love my glassware and so I wanted to mark it as…mine!

My tools of the trade

1) My Cricut! I used the Simply Sweet cartridge

2) Vinyl – the ones from Provo Crafts with the transfer backing

3) Transfer Paper

Last but not least…

4) Armour Etch

This stuff is amazing and expensive! Be careful with this stuff, it is acid and will eat through pretty much anything. I accidentally spilled this stuff on our countertop and I had to very quickly clean it up with soap and water. Thankfully…nothing was ruined!

Once you cut out your vinyl, follow the instruction on your transfer paper and transfer the stencil to your glassware. Once that is done, apply a nice thick layer of the etching cream.

I let mine sit for between 8 and 10 minutes, but a couple times I applied a second coat for a couple extra mins. Follow the instructions on the etching cream bottle!

Presto!!

I did my 9X13 pan, my 9X9 pan, my matching mixing bowl and my pitcher. I didn’t do my pie pans yet, that will have to wait until the weekend.

Love it!!!!!

So easy too!
