Glass etching turns out to be super simple to do! What a treat!
I recently made two glasses quickly and easily: one with a floral design and one with "Balzer Designs" in my handwriting.
Here's what you need:
Supplies:
- Armour Etch
- Vinyl
- ScanNCut (not pictured)
- Foam Brush
- Glass
- Plastic Gloves (not pictured)
I cut my shapes from adhesive-backed vinyl using my ScanNCut (but, of course, you could also hand cut the vinyl). Whatever is exposed (i.e. not covered) will be etched.
I was careful to wrap my whole glass so I didn't accidentally get any drips or drops.
I applied the Armour Etch using a foam brush (which I threw away afterwards). The Armour Etch only takes one-minute to work! You should wear plastic gloves and be sure to apply the cream in a well-ventilated area as it's a serious chemical. After the minute was up, I rinsed my glasses and peeled off the vinly and voila!
Pretty magical! And the hardest thing about this project? Taking the photos! (Seriously hard to photograph etched glass.) In any case, I look forward to trying out some more glasses and maybe even a window! (One of the many reasons I can't wait to be a homeowner — biggest craft project ever!!!)
Thanks for stopping by!
That looks great Julie, love those glasses especially the one with “Balzer designs” 😉

I just finishe watching all the Stencilling Live Spreecast videos. Thank you so much for generously sharing your expertise and knowledge. I learned SO much. Now I’m going to go back through them while trying the techniques along with you. Have to clear a space to work first 🙂 again, thank you for all the inspiration you so freely share. Hope you have a good day. Your blog always brightens mine. Dorothy

Julie, you did a great job on the photos! You could have filled the glasses with a dark liquid to show off the etching, too!

I can’t even begin to imagine how terrific a home that you won will be in terms of art all around. But you will show us pics when it happens, right?
