Dandelion Etched Wine Glasses

Good morning friends,

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.
