Glass Etching - Blackletter Cricut Cartridge

This glass was etched using Armour Glass Etching Cream and the Blackletter Cricut Cartridge.

 The lettering is 2.245" wide and 1.157" high.

Weed out the pieces you will not be needing (use the negative).

Apply the transfer paper to the front of the negative by peeling apart the transfer paper and placing the sticky side of the paper on top of the word Ervin.

Peel the backing off of the vinyl.

The top of the capital letter E is 3/4" from the top of the glass

The bottom of the E is 1 3/4" from the top of the glass

Place the vinyl on the glass and make sure to get all of the bubbles out of the vinyl close to the edges of the lettering that will be etched.

Apply a generous amount of etching cream and leave on for 15 minutes.

After the 15 minutes put the glass under warm running water and quickly get all of the etching cream off and pull the vinyl off of the glass.

Dry the glass and you have an etched glass.

Glass Etching - Plantin SchoolBook Cricut Cartridge

I made the template for the names, above, with my Cricut Expression using the Plantin SchoolBook cartridge for the glasses.  The bottom of the letters are 2.1" from the top of the glass.  The lettering is 1" high on both names and 2.39" and 2.015" wide respectively.  This mug is square and is very easy to place the template without bubbles forming.  I generously put Armour Etch cream on the mugs for 15 minutes and then washed the cream off under running warm water.

These four glasses were etched using the following Cricut Cartridges (Left to Right):

Pine Cone - Joys of the Season

Each template was cut at 3" using vinyl as a template.  Armour Etch Cream was put on with a small brush, generously.  After 10 minutes rinse the glasses with warm running water from the sink. Remove the vinyl and dry the glasses.  You have beautiful glasses in just minutes. .





Glass Etching - Blackletter Cricut Cartridge

I etched these glasses by using my Cricut Expression and scraps of vinyl to make the template.  I used the Blackletter Cricut Cartridge.  The lettering is 1 1/2" tall.  I used a small paint brush and generously applied the Armour Etch cream and let it set for 10 minutes.  Then I washed the glass under warm running water and pulled the vinyl template off.  It's easy to etch glasses.
