An etched wine glass makes a great gift for any occasion!
It is SO easy to make. All you need is a die cut of your choice and etchall Etching Creme!
You will need:
etchall Etching Creme
etchall Applicator Spatula
#656370 Vine Die cut (Sizzix) or other die cut of your choice
Big Shot (Sizzix) or die cut machine of your choice
Contact paper
Cellophane scrap or other nonstick backing sheet
Also have ready:
Bowl of clean water
Non-latex gloves
Paper towels or other clean towel
Here's how:
1. Clean your wine glass with dishwashing liquid; rinse and dry. If you want to be extra careful, also clean again with a cotton ball dipped in rubbing alcohol right before beginning the project.
3. Separate the die cut from the "stencil portion.
NOTE: Set the stencil portion aside and save for another project that will appear on my blog in the near future.
Remove the backing sheet from the die cut vine. If desired, put the gloves on to reduce transferring oil from your fingers onto the glass. Carefully place the vine die cut shape on the outside of the wine glass and wrap it around the glass.
Using the applicator spatula, burnish the vine so it is well stuck to the glass surface.
Using the applicator spatula, generously apply etchall Etching Creme over the ENTIRE surface of the glass, making sure to not get any creme on the stem or base.
Set a timer for 15 minutes. When the time is up, gently scrape off the etchall Etching Creme from the tile and place it back into the bottle. It is resuable!
Submerge the wine glass in the water to gently rinse any remaining etchall Etching Creme from the wine glass.
Carefully remove the stencil (which you can use again for a second wine glass or additional project).
Note that the vine appears clear and the wine glass looks frosted from being etched! How elegant is this?!
