Etched Glass Flutes

Do you guys LOVE Valentine's Day?I love my hubby all year but think it's fun to celebrate big and make cute little gifts for loved ones -
something a little more then just a simple Valentine - so I wanted to share with you the first part of my Valentine gifts this year -

 

I have seen etching all over the place - but have never done it.

To be honest - for some reason - it sorta scared me a little bit -

How do you etch glass??

Weird, right? Because etching this was SO EASY!!

 

Like - really super duper easy -

 

First - you need to grab your supplies -

You will need:

champagne flutes

Etching cream

vinyl

and a paint brush

 

I bought my champagne flutes at Ikea - they were $5 for 6! That works great for me because we hardly ever use them and when we do my 2 year old likes to be in on the action too!

I used my silhouette and cut out the vinyl - if you don't have a vinyl cutter you can use an exacto knife or a die cut machine to cut out your shape.

 

 

Peel the vinyl carefully off it's backing and stick it onto your flute.

 

 

Now we start the etching process -

 

 

Simply brush on a think layer of the etching cream - lightly brushing it on.

Wait for about 5 minutes...

 

 

... then wash it off. Peel off your vinyl and your done!

 

 

See! I told you it was easy!!

This project only took me about 10 minutes tops -

Quick and easy - but so cute!!

 

 

 

 

Mine say Husband and Wife - perfect for Valentine's Day -

but you can make your's say whatever you want.

 

His & Hers

Your names

Nicknames

 

What will your Glass Valentine Day Flutes say?
