Etching glass with die cuts
Plushie fever has passed and I have been wondering if I wasted my money when I bought the die cut machine to use to make eyes. NOPE! I found another use for it - to decorate jars. I have no idea where this idea came from because I haven't etched glass in YEARS - probably 10 years. But I got out the contact paper and made 3 stencils using my new Flourish die (from Revolution). If you've never etched glass - it is soooo simple ...
Step two - cover it with the etching cream - which I don't think is brown but this stuff is over 10 years old - see what happens when you never throw out craft supplies, ha ha. Leave it on for 5 minutes then rinse it off with water
Step 3 - admire.
Wow Judi, how simple yet beautiful. I imagine you could have a lot of fun with this. I'd love something like this on my kitchen cabinet on the glass doors. Belinda
Posted by: Belinda at April 13, 2008 4:51 PMI haven't done that in years either, probably about 10!!!! Hehehe!!!! I like this design is it way cool. Know what would be way cool on it??? Some rub-on fish!!! Looks like sea weed.
Posted by: sandra walker at April 13, 2008 4:51 PMGreat idea Judi! It's wonderful how just a little etching makes the ordinary mason jar a much more modern vessel. I guess no glass surface in your house is safe from being etched now? :-)
Posted by: Tami at April 13, 2008 7:35 PMHi ya Judi I love what you have done with the vase or jar- I have some etching creme and all the gear etc and never used it must be easy over 15 years old must dig it out and try it - looks fabulous - I havent got the die cut though darn it and not gunna buy one either ggg Love it sweetie its so beautiful I can see all sorts of applications for this cant you??

Posted by: Auntie Linda at April 14, 2008 6:32 AMVery kewl, Judi! I had no idea how glass was etched until reading this entry.
Posted by: Linda Fleming at April 14, 2008 9:35 AMWow I thought it was going to be much more work than what it is. It looks fab and now I may have to add etching cream to my supply list. Your design is cool!!
Posted by: kerry at April 14, 2008 3:09 PMI used to do etched mirrors and stuff ALL the time! This brought back memories. Maybe I should pull out my macrame cord, too. Hmmmm ...
Posted by: Kai at April 14, 2008 4:13 PMGeez, Judi, where do you come up with this stuff? This is fantastic.
Posted by: Kate Erbach at April 14, 2008 7:40 PMYour hair looks fantastic! I love the color and the cut sure does flatter your face.
Your jar is so cool. I haven't thought about glass etching in years either. The pattern looks like sea plants to me. sorta floating in water.
Posted by: Yvette at April 15, 2008 9:43 PMYou are at it again which is good, now we can drool at your work. Love this glass etching so cool and sounds so easy. I wonder where we can get that stuff over here. What is that gooey stuff called?
