St. Patrick's Day Etched Glass Stein

St. Patrick’s Day will soon be here - time for many to celebrate with green beer!  But even if they are not into green beer, or they’d rather have rootbeer - this fun personalized mug would be a great gift for someone special! 

Materials:

etchall® Creme

etchall® etchmask®

etchall® Pick Tool 

CreateAlong.com Steins Silkscreen 

Glass stein 

Stencil

Pen

Craft knife 

Rub N’ Buff Patina

Paper towels

Two Cat Assistants/Supervisors (optional)

Instructions:

Wash and dry stein. Place Stein silkscreen ORANGE SIDE toward the glass, at the top of the stein.  Use a strip of tape on each end to firmly hold the silkscreen in place. 

Use a foam brush to carefully dab an even coat of etchall® Creme to cover the surface of the silkscreen. Let set 15 minutes. 

Use foam brush to carefully remove etchall® Creme and return to the bottle. etchall® is re-usable!

Wash stein and remove silkscreen, being sure to also thoroughly wash your silkscreen. Let stein dry. 

This is where my furry assistants decided they were very much needed to provide propersupervision.

Use letter stencil to trace letter of choice twice onto etchmask®. Use craft knife to cut out area for stencil.  

Place transfer paper over etchmask® stencil and peel away backing. Place where desired on the stein. Repeat with second stencil. 

Apply etchall® creme to stencils. Let set 15 minutes. Return creme to bottle. Wash stein and remove etchmask®.

To make your etched design really stand out, apply Patina Rub N’ Buff to etched areas and buff to remove excess.
