Materials:

#15-0200 Armour Etch Glass Etching Cream.

#21-1683 Over N Over stencil- Water birds

#08-9606 Brushes.

#08-9999 Gloves.

#08-9415 Masking tape.

Wine glass

Soft paper towels.

Directions:

1. Wash the glass in hot, soapy dish water and dry with a soft paper towel.

2. Apply the flying seabirds stencil to the top of the wine glass, lining up the top edge of the stencil with the rim of the glass. Apply the long billed bird and the 3 chicks under the seabirsd, centering them and overlapping all edges where they meet.

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 and all the way up to the rim.

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 glass upside down so all the water runs off over the covered area of the glass and not into the inside of the glass. Rinse off all the etch cream under warm running water. Remove the stencils and masking tape and rinse again. Pat the stencils dry and return to the carrier sheet.
