Directions:

1. Wash jar with hot, soapy dish detergent, rinse and dry well with paper towels.

2. Apply the pumpkin stencil to the side of the jar

3. Cover all the glass around the stencils with masking tape, overlapping all edges. Cover enough area so that none of the rinse water will touch any of the glass not to be etched while rinsing. Cover all the way down to the edge of the opening.

4. Put on the rubber gloves. Load the brush with Armour Glass Etching cream. PAT the etch cream onto the stencils (do not brush it on). Cover each one with a 1/4 inch layer of cream. View the directions and How To Videos HERE.

5. Leave cream on for 5 minutes

6. Hold the jar upside with the open end down and holding back the lid, so no water touches the lid and none will go inside the jar while rinsing. Rinse off the etch cream. Remove the stencils and masking tape and rinse again. Pat the stencils dry and return to the carrier sheet. Dry the canister with paper towels.

7. Decorate the jar with fall leaves if desired
