One of my readers will win this awesome prize pack which includes
*a book about glass etching, with everything you need to know on how to etch
*a book about glass cutting
*1 bottle of Blue Etch(with design tip)so you can draw your own words or images or add detail
*1 blank sheet of reusable stencil material (custom make a stencil in a cutting machine)
*1 sheet of rub on letter stencils (Old Endlish Letters)
Plus additional information on all they have to offer.
First let me show you how to etch a jar using stencils.
I tried my hand at stenciling & I personally like how it turned out.
This was my first time with using etch cream(Armor Etch)
I used a mason jar & the Over n Over stencil letters
Start with a clean, dry jar. These letters we so easy to work with because they
just stick right on....
NOTE: make sure they are side by side with each other & don't leave any spacing like I did.
Just peel it off gently & reposition.
Yes I am preparing a jar so I can make attempt to make my own pickles.
Tape around the edges & anything you don't want etched.
You will need to wear gloves & be in a well ventilated area per the directions.
Keep away from children and pets!
With a paintbrush layer on the etch cream so you can no longer see the stencil.
Start timing......60 seconds exactly!
I did mine at the kitchen sink & ran the water until it warmed since you need to
rinse with warm water when time is up & you don't want to
be waiting on the cold water to heat up once your time is up.
OK so at this point I rinsed & rubbed gently with my still gloved finger,
dried it with a paper towel & saw that it wasn't as etched as I would like.
So simple enough, on went another coat & another 60 seconds later,
We have a pickle jar! =D
Sorry it's hard to see but it is just so sunny today that everywhere
I tried to take a picture there was glare, so I put it in front of my foodsaver to see.
Rinse your stencils under warm water & stick them back on the original sheet & they are ready to use again when you are! How convenient is that?
