Glass Etching

My friend taught me how to etch glass.
It was easy.


Print numbers off the computer and trace them onto contact paper.
Make sure you trace them onto the contact paper backwards.


Place contact paper over your glass.


Follow the instructions on the bottle.
I've seen etching spray in a spray can too.


1.  Make sure you apply it in up and down strokes. 
2.  Do not dab as you see above, it will not turn out very well.
3.  Let the etching cream sit for a few minutes.
4.  Wash off the excess and peel off the contact paper.


Tah dah!


My friend made BOO jars.


My leaf jar turned out beautifully.


I traced leaves onto contact paper and placed them randomly on the jar. 
 I then etched the whole jar.  


Give it a try!
