My soon to be DIL loves dandelions and I wanted to give her a special gift for Christmas. I'm in love with using Armour Etching Cream and thought I could make her some personalized wine glasses.
I cut a dandelion pattern using my cricut. I had to cut it in half because it was too big for the wine glasses.
I adhered the first piece to the glass. I had to make some relief cuts but that's okay, especially with a pattern like this. Just make sure that you have not openings anywhere in your pattern.
Then I added the second layer to the glass.
I added the etching cream all over the pattern and let it sit up for 10 minutes.
I also etched the stems.
Now, I do not like to waste anything so I actually scrape the etching cream
off the glass and put it right back into the bottle.
I love the look of these
And even the stems look awesome.
She really loved her glasses and wants 4 more to make a set of 6. Oh yeah!
I hope you've enjoyed my simple glass etching tutorial today and
would love to hear what personalized item you would make.
As always, have a Great Day and God Bless.
Those are awesome! Is that just like cardstock or paper that you used (I don't have a cricut so I would have to use my own designs)? Also, (I have never done this before) is there different color of the Armour Etching Cream or just the one that you used? I have lots of extra glass sitting around that I would like to try this on. Thanks!
