Tag it Tuesday – Stencil

finished tag

I started this tag with Distress Oxide Sprays that I found on clearance, knowing I wanted to stencil on top of them. And then it grew from there. Not really having a set plan in place. A variety of materials were used and I will link them at the bottom of this post.

How to Etch a Glass Bottle

Etch a glass bottle with etchall creme in 15 minutes. @etchallcreme #affiliate

with etchall creme

etched bottle

We have a few of these glass soap bottles that we use for dish soap and hand soap. We needed a way to tell them apart from each other. Etching the glass with etchall creme was the best solution. Learn how easy it is to etch glass with etchall creme.

The links provided are for your use and may contain affiliate links.
They cost nothing for you to use.
Thank you in advance for supporting this site with its use.

materials

The materials you need aren’t a lot. The etchall creme, a squeegee/scraper, vinyl, transfer film, the glass surface to etch, rubbing alcohol, and baby wipes.

design

Using a Cricut Maker, I cut the above graphic into the vinyl. If you would like the SVG file I am sharing it below.

Download the SVG file [Dish Soap SVG]

vinyl

After cutting the vinyl, I transferred it to the glass bottle. Then I weeded away the part I wanted to etch.

etchall creme on glass

Making sure the vinyl is down on the glass well with no air bubbles, it is time to put the etching creme onto the design. It only takes 15 minutes to etch the glass.

Don’t forget to remove the creme and put it back into the container because it is reusable.

Then clean your project getting it ready to use. The video tutorial below shows you step-by-step how I etched my bottle.

Video Tutorial:

  • Don’t forget to clean your glass surface before you begin your project. Using Rubbing Alcohol is the best way to make sure the glass is really clean.
