Glass Etching Supplies
As long as you have all the supplies necessary, you’ll be able to create beautiful works of art with glass. Imagine a finished piece of glass with whatever design you desire, that can be displayed in your home or work area.
Basic glass etching supplies are: etching cream, a squeegee, a foam brush, the stencil of your choice and a pair of disposable gloves. Etching cream is pretty easy to come by. You can get it at a craft supply store or online; and, a squeegee can be purchased at most grocery stores or at your local dollar store.
The next series of supplies are easy to come by and most are located throughout your home. All you should have to do is gather them up. Items necessary: a bucket, towel, safety glasses, dish soap, a window cleaner, and a roll of paper towels. If you don’t have safety glasses on hand, you can buy them at Home Depot or any hardware store. Finally, it is good to have a utility knife, masking tape, measuring tape and a t-square. These can all be picked up from the local hardware store as well. Otherwise, it’s possible to find glass etching kits online at the numerous craft web sights.
When etching your glass, think about which stencil design you want to use. It can be anything from birds, to nameplates, to flowers, to poems and quotes. An etched piece of glass can be used as a great gift idea since it adds that personalized touch. You can find a wide variety of stencils online and at stores such as Michaels or Hobby Lobby. Be aware that you can only use a stencil once; so, if you’re looking to create a series with your stencils you will need to purchase the exact number that you’ll need.
From start to finish, the actual process of etching glass should only take from around twenty minutes to half an hour. One of the first steps to creating your work of art is to make sure that your glass is clear of any lint or streaks. From that time, fifteen minutes is spent babysitting your project so that no harmful results come from the etching cream. The cream is a caustic substance that can be dangerous; so keep away from hands, eyes, and anywhere on your skin and make sure that kids aren’t playing around the glass unattended. Be sure to always where gloves when handling your etching cream.
That warning aside, glass etching can be a fun and rewarding hobby to take on. Before you know it, you’ll be a great glass etcher. Just remember to have all your glass etching supplies in order before you begin.
