Etching Glass as an Inexpensive Craft
With a few inexpensive supplies and a low cost glass mug, you can etch your own designs, patterns, or name into glass. It doesn't just have to be a mug, it can be a home window or glass door, a car window, bathroom shower glass door, a mirror, and the list goes on. The possibilities are endless. All you need is etching cream, a piece of glass (you can get a nice glass mug at Walmart for under $2), a black and white pattern, contact paper, and a razor blade. First, you place the contact paper on the glass, then trace the pattern on the contact paper. Once the pattern is drawn on the contact paper, you cut it out with the razor blade. Second, spread glass etching cream over the exposed areas and wait a few minutes. Third, wash off and clean up by peeling the contact paper off. Then you have a great looking and personalized permanent marking on your glass. Its as easy as that.
