Materials

• Glass pieces
• Glass etching cream
• Rubbing alcohol
• Sponge brush
• Painter’s tape
• Cloth

Directions
1 Clean the surface of your glass piece with rubbing alcohol, then rinse it off with soap and water.

2 Tape off any areas you don’t intend to etch with painter’s tape (you can also use adhesive stencils).

3 Wearing protective gloves, apply a thick, even coat of glass etching cream to the surface with a sponge brush. Let sit for 15 minutes.

4 Rinse the piece with water to remove all the etching cream and wipe dry with a cloth. Repeat as required if you don’t get full coverage the first time around.
