From the moment that I discovered Armour Etch I have been creating unique gifts for my friends and family by etching glass. My Cricut makes it very easy to cut a stencil into vinyl, which adheres to the glass well and creates a perfect etch every time. Today I downloaded a snowflake and decided to put it on a champagne glass. I plan on creating a set of these for some friends to give away with a bottle of champagne for Christmas presents.
Supplies:
- Glass
- Armour Etch
- Paper Towel
- Vinyl
- Cricut
- Snowflake cartridge or a pattern to download into a software like Sure Cuts a Lot
- Foam Brush
Instructions:
Step 1: Using your cutting machine, cut a snowflake template into vinyl.
Step 2: Apply the vinyl stencil to clean glass.
Step 3: Apply a generous amount of Armour Etch to the area using a foam brush. Let sit for 5-7 minutes. Be sure to read the instructions fully on the Armour Etch as it is dangerous if it comes into contact with your skin. Never use around children.
Step 4: Run water over the area, rinsing the etch off of the glass. Remove the stencil and dry.
This project is a very fast project and I think the result comes out looking very sharp. Imagine the possibilities!
I hope you loved this project and will stop over to visit Amber’s project for today – a paper snowflake!
