My sister's mother-in-law buys our children the most thoughtful gifts for Christmas every year. The only problem: I almost always forget to get her something! Well, this year was going to be different. I came to North Carolina armed with my Silhouette and some etching cream.
Sue (or Seuss as we like to call her) is a wonderful baker, so I decided to make her a baking pan with her name on it.
I often get so frustrated when I leave a pan somewhere (and I can't remember where) or some anonymous person leaves a pan at my house. Anonymity no more for Seuss when she brings a baked good to a friend!
This was my first try etching on glass and I loved it! I started with my design in Silhouette and flipped it horizantally.
I cut it and weeded out the centers of the letters and put the contact paper on the glass pan. Above is the view from the back of the pan. Below is the view from the front
Then I applied a thick layer of the etching cream with a paint brush.

I still can't believe it worked.

I washed the etching cream off after 5 minutes and peeled away the vinyl. Voila!
I also made a glass for our neighbor who brews his own beer. He stops by with free beer for us periodically (thanks Joe!)
I'll be doing many more of these projects in the future... I think they make great gifts! What do you think?
Blessings,
Jamie

ReplyDeleteLove both of them! I got a cricut for Xmas and I'm loving playing around with cutting things out. I also recently tried my hand at etching. Bought the same cream you posted. You can make such unique and thoughtful things.

I've never tried etching but it looks like fun....thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about glass etching as an addition to some of my soldered glass work. It's good to know that etching with cream can be so precise. Thanks for the post.

ReplyDeleteI've never tried etching but I like what you have created! I found you at the Cozy Home Party! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea!!!!! It would certainly eliminate resorting to use masking tape and address labels.

ReplyDeleteAwesome Jamie!
ReplyDeleteI love this decent gift ideas ,awesome post thanks for share it.
ReplyDeleteI received a gift from my former boyfriend and I smiled when I open it I was so amazed because it made from an etched glass. Thanks for him!
ReplyDeleteI have done a small amount of etching in the past but was afraid to try it on my pans but after seeing this I am going to give it a try. I really need to figure out how to cut a stencil from transfer paper or vinyl.
ReplyDeleteEtched personalised baking gifts are always special and make the receiver happy.
