How To Etch Glass At Home

I love etching glass, and it’s surprisingly easy to do! Etched glassware is a great personalized gift that is perfect for weddings, birthdays, holidays, or any occasion, and it only takes about ten minutes. Today I’m going to show you how to etch glass at home using etching cream, a paintbrush, and a stencil!

Once you know how to etch glass, you can make so many things! Try etching drinking glasses, wine glasses, or champagne glasses as a personalized wedding present. Or an etched decanter or casserole pan makes a great personalized holiday gift; feel free to get totally creative!

How To Etch Glass At Home

Here’s what you need to etch glass at home: (affiliate links below to the products I used and recommend)

• a piece of glassware to etch
• etching cream
• an adhesive stencil; you can make your own with stencil vinyl (if your design is complicated and has multiple pieces, transfer paper will help hold the pieces together, or you can use washi tape, masking tape, or painter’s tape)
• Silhouette Cameo (or scissors or an X-acto knife)
• small paintbrush

Note: If this is your first time etching glass, Silhouette has a great glass etching starter kit that comes with everything you need to etch glass using your Silhouette cutting machine! It has etching cream, stencil vinyl, transfer tape, a hook tool, a scraper tool, and some great designs you can download for free that are perfect for etching!
