Wedding Party
Create elegant glassware as special as the occasion! The Wedding stencil sheet lets you take the table setting to the next level in your own unique way. Use on new glasses or upcycle something vintage for a classic chic. Materials: #15-0200 Armour Etch Glass Etching Cream. #21-1616 Stencil Sheet WEDDING. #08- 9606 Brushes. #08- 9999 Gloves. #08- 9415 Masking tape. Soft paper towels. Optional: #61-3501 TWEEZERS. #85-2109 HOBBY KNIFE. Ruler and water soluble marker or china pencil.DIRECTIONS: 1. Wash the item to be etched in hot, soapy dishwater and dry with a soft paper towel then wipe down design area with glass cleaner. 2. Place the desired stencil onto the glass. Avoid touching the sticky side of the stencil as oils from your hands can interfere with adhesion. Using a tweezer to hold stencil while deciding on placement location can help with this. 3. Using a popsicle stick or other dull instrument, press the stencil down gently but firmly to prevent the cream from getting underneath during etching. 4. Cover all the glass around the stencils with masking tape, overlapping all edges. Rub and press the tape down securely. Check for exposed spaces by turning the project over and holding up to the light.
Cover enough area so that none of the rinse water will touch any of the other glass while rinsing as even the small amount of etching cream in the water will permanently haze the glass. 5. 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). Apply a thick enough layer of cream to the exposed design area that you can no longer see through it. (View the directions HERE) 6. Leave the cream on for 5 minutes 7. Completely rinse off the etch cream under gently flowing temped water. Remove the stencils and masking tape and rinse again. Pat the stencils dry and return to the carrier sheet. 11. Repeat steps 5 through 9 until all desired design elements have been etched onto the glass |
