Supplies:
Etching cream (Armour Etch) sponge brush, watercolor brush glass vase optional: contact paper – found in the kitchen section (aka “shelf liner”)
Instructions:
I chose to etch these glass vases by hand, but you can also use contact paper, as I’ve done before with a Cake Pan and a Pie Plate, to make an image or even cut vinyl. Vinyl and contact paper give it more clean lines, but I was in the mood for free form decorating this time. But be careful, as what ever your etching cream touches, gets etched! Read the instructions on the bottle. It’s pretty much: clean glass, dip brush in cream, paint glass, leave on for 6-8 minutes, wash off, and dry glass. The more you put on and the longer you leave it, the deeper the etched look. These are now ready to add flowers, a ribbon, and a card for Mom!
This will be a hit on Mother’s Day at your house! Have fun etching up a glass storm. You’re going to love this DIY project and will be making so many more!
