How To Etch Wine Glasses
by Jennifer and Kitty O'Neil
The O'Neil Sisters
Running With Sisters
Etch wine glasses with your own custom design. These make a great gift! We'll show you every step with this glass etching video tutorial.
Have you ever used etch cream to etch wine glasses? It's easy! In our step-by-step video tutorial we'll show you just how easy it is to etch a set of wine glasses with your own personalized and custom design.
Even if you've never etched wine glasses before, you can do this DIY gift project. We'll show you exactly how to use the chemical etch cream Armor Etch to etch wine glasses.
How To Etch Wine Glasses
Materials
4 wine glasses
Armour Etch Cream
Scroll and swirl stickers
Rubbing alcohol
*We got the stickers at Hobby Lobby!
Tools
Soft bristle craft paintbrush
Scissors
Gloves
Masking tape
Cotton swabs
Timer
Instructions
1. Mask off the area you want to etch.
2. Make a custom design using stickers on the bowl of the wine glass.
3. Clean the wine glass between the stickers using a rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab to remove any fingerprints.
4. Paint a thick layer of etch cream on the wine glass covering the stickers. Set the timer for one minute. Then rinse the wine glass under running water.
*The glasses are perfectly safe once you rinse the etch cream off and wash them. The etch cream is no longer on the glasses. It just does its job etching (like sand blasting) then is washed away. The glasses are permanently etched but no chemicals are left.*
5. Peel off the stickers and masking tape. Rinse the wine glass again.
Custom etching wine glasses is a fun way to personalize cocktail glasses or wine glasses with initials. names, or phrases. Just use letter stickers to create your design. Are you feeling nervous about etching? Ask us any questions. We're here to help!
Happy Crafting,
Jennifer & Kitty

Great questions Carole! Using gloves might help, but there may still be finger prints on the glass. So you shouldn't skip the rubbing alcohol step. Also, the glasses are perfectly safe to drink from after you rinse the etch cream off and wash them. The etch cream does not stay on the glasses. It just does its job etching the glass (like sand blasting). The etch cream is then washed away, leaving the glass etched but no chemicals left.

Can you use etching cream over top of a crackle finish? Or any other type of finish? Or will it not show?

@TheONeilSisters 6 жыл бұрын

Great question! Etching cream is a chemical etching process where the cream eats through the top layer of glass. It isn't like spraying a frosty finish, it is like sand blasting the glass but using chemicals instead of sand. If there is already a finish on the surface of the glass, the etch cream will eat through that too. If the glass itself is crackled inside, it may work. We've never tried it. Let us know if you do. We'd love to hear your results! J&K

Baking soda can be added to your waste water to neutralize the water. ph strips you can purchase at a pool supply or drugstore. The ph strip will indicate when the water is neutralized. Once neutralized, the water can be flushed down the toilet and not affect your septic system.

The O'Neil Sisters Thank you very much. I thinking if you wanted to start with a colored glass but have a completely different color etch.

@simplysaida 6 жыл бұрын

I used to do this as a glass blower but it required making the vessel yourself with one color inside and another color outside. Then once it was properly cooled you had to use a sand blaster to get through the thickness of the first layer of glass. I've never seen a commercial product made that way. But a shop with a lot of glass vases and things might have what you're looking for. I have seen methods of coloring plates with sharpies and then baking them. If you found glass that could resist the heat of recommended baking time for sharpies, then you could color the glass, bake it, put the stickers on, THEN etch it. I haven't tested this but the etch cream SHOULD eat through the sharpie that isn't protected by stickers and leave the glass under the stickers colored. Only thing that might go wrong is if somehow baking the sharpie creates some kind of resist against the etch cream.

Can I do the same to coffee mugs? And can I put them in the microwave after using the chemical?

@TheONeilSisters 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Patty, We've never tried the etch cream on coffee mugs, but others have had success, so why not try it? And yes you can safely microwave the mugs when you are done etching them. No chemical will remain. Hope that helps! Jennifer & Kitty

We don't think it will work on plastic. It is made for glass. If the sticker is vinyl or plastic (not paper) it should work like ours in the video. Hope that helps! J&K

If the glitter is inside the molten glass (embedded) then etching could work. If it applied to the outside of the glass, we are not sure how it would interact with the etch cream. Does that answer your question? J&K

You can try a fluffier paint brush to eliminate some of the brushstrokes. It also helps to use a lot of etch cream. Don't just paint it on, dab on a thick layer. Hope that helps! J&K

Hi Tiffany, The etch cream takes off the outside layer of glass making the surface frosted. Then you wash the etch cream off. So there's no way to add color. It would wash off. You could try etching colored glass. Hope that helps! J&K

@jessicaluke3876 5 жыл бұрын

After you are done, and take the stickers off, and wash it wish soap and water, are the chemicals still harmful? Drinking out of the wine glass wouldn’t be a problem correct? (Once the chemical process is done and it’s washed off, it’s no longer reacting?)

@TheONeilSisters 4 жыл бұрын

Great question, Jessica! Once you peel the stickers off, rinse off the etch cream, and wash the glasses with soap and water, the glasses are safe to drink out of. The chemical process ends once the glasses are completely washed. Hope yours turn out great!

Hi Rosalind,We haven’t etched colored glasses ourselves, but we found a project etching colored glass on etchtalk.com and they said, “Please Note: Our project glass is made of real colored, green glass. If you decide to use a colored glass, make sure it is real glass and not just colored on the surface. If it is only colored on the surface, Etch Cream will not work. Use Sand Etch for topically colored glass.” Hope that helps! Jennifer & Kitty

The etch cream we are using chemically etches the glass. It's like a chemical version of sand blasting. It takes off the outside layer of glass making the surface less shiny. It ends up frosted.
