valentines day glass

I thought that these etched glasses that I found on Thistlewood Farm were a really cute project for Valentines Day or a Wedding/Engagement Shower gift

Etched Valentine’s Glass

(please note:  use gloves when making this project and follow all safety precautions on the label)

Supplies:

• Dollar Store Glass
• heart window cling
• letter stickers
• etching cream

Step 1:  Cut out window cling

You can find these window clings anywhere.

I saw them both at Hobby Lobby and Michael’s.

You don’t really need the actual cling……you just want the outline.

Step 2:  Add cling and stickers to glass

Position window cling in the center of the glass.

Place letter stickers into the center of the circle.

I just bought regular stickers at Hobby Lobby and took the d and the k out of the package.

To make the plus sign I cut the l in half and added the smaller pieces to make it look like this +.

Step 3:   Apply etching cream with a brush

Leave on for about 45 seconds.

I used Armour Etch.

Note:  Each etching cream may be slightly different.  

Be sure to follow directions and safety precautions on the bottle of etching cream you bought.

Step 4:  Wash off etching cream with soap and water.

Wash off all cream from glass.

Peel off window cling sticker and letter and plus sign stickers.

You should be able to see the etched surface (this is my favorite part)!

Wash glass with soap and water thoroughly again to make sure all etching cream is removed.
