How to Etch Glass
Etching glass can be a fun, cheap, and easy craft. We show you how to etch glass in the comfort of your own home with this simple step-by-step tutorial.
Cook Time5 minutes mins
waiting time10 minutes mins
- smooth glass jars
- vinyl stickers/ labels I made mine with my Cricut Joy and some pieces of scrap vinyl
- Etching Cream
- paint brush
Stick your label onto your jar, making sure the vinyl sticks nice and tight. You don't want the glass etching cream to seep under the letters.
Spread the etching cream in a heavy layer on top of your label. You want it nice and thick like you are icing a cake!!
Wait 5 minutes, then scoop it off the surface, back into the jar.
Apply a new coat and wait another 5 minutes.
After your 10 minutes (total time), scoop it off back into the jar to use again and rinse the remainder off in your sink with warm water.
Remove the stencil/tape right away to make sure no cream is under the edges.
…and you're done!
