Etched Glass Jewelry Tray

Here is another fabulous tutorial brought to you by me Angela Holt using the fabulous Glass Etching Product called Etchall which you can purchase as www.etchall.com 

Today I'm going to show you step by step how I created this simple but elegant piece. The difference in the design I created is that I made it my own by piecing shapes and patterns together in a design style I liked!!! So lets begin this awesome tutorial for.....

Etched Glass Jewelry Tray

Here we go!!!

I purchased this tray at the local thrift store. The tray was originally brass and someone painted it black. There were a few inperfections on the glass but Etchall is amazing in helping to mask these. 

 The first thing I did was take the glass out and clean it!!! This is very important that you clean your surface of your glass before you begin etching!!!

Cut your design out using the YELLOW Etchall Etching Mask as I have shown you in previous tutorials!! This is super fun and cuts through my Silhouette Cameo like butter.

Remember with this step you need to place the YELLOW Etching Mask down face first on to the Etching Transfer Paper sheet as you see above!!! 

Place the Etching Mask Transfer Paper back over the design and and burnish with your Squeegee tool to make sure you have good contact for transferring.

Dont forget to pull the backing off your YELLOW etching paper to reveal the sticky side. NEXT...

you will place the sticky side down onto your glass!!! NOW I use my squeegee tool to burnish and make sure that I have all my edges are down and secure. I dont want any Etchall running under the image!!!

Peel back the etching mask and reveal your design. you see that I have some raised areas still. A great TIP is to take a piece of typing paper lay it back over your design and burnish again with your Squeegee tool. This will help lay down the stubborn edges and also eliminate you from tearing and stretching your design edges. 

VERY IMPORTANT!!!

if you want only the design to be etched it is best to tape off the edges of your mirror. I used box tape for demo purposes but painters tape is great too!!! OVER LAP on to the design but not so much to cover it so that NO etching cream will spill out on to the un-etched surface. 

Now as you can see from the photo at the top, I made a little pile of etching cream because for best results and the proper way to etch you are going to pull the etching cream across the design. Showed in the photo below. As you can see I have no fear of this pile of etching cream runing my design because I TAPED OFF the edges first!!!! 

As you can see I pulled the etching cream to my design. This lends great coverage and for a beautiful etch!!! NOTE: YOU WANT TO BE VERY GENEROUS WITH THE CREAM!!! you want to be very heavy with it in that you almost cant see your design!!! DONT WORRY!!!! ONLY ETCHALL CAN BE SCRAPED BACK OFF AND RETURNED TO THE BOTTLE FOR ANOTHER ETCHING DAY!!! SO THERE IS NO WASTE HARDLY AT ALL!!! REUSE!!!

Allow the etching cream to etch for 15 min as instructed on the bottle. 

Once my design 1 was etched I followed the same steps as above and pieced some designs I cut out myself around the previously etched design!! To ensure that I only etched the smaller designs placed around the roses, I used my Etchall Designer Tips to do this!

and here are the RESULTS!!!

I hope this tutorial helps you more and more to create with this wonderful medium!! I love creating with Etchall and bringing to my home and to my friends and family wonderful etched designs that will be conversation pieces for years to come!!!

Etched Glass Canister featuring Etchall

Hello my crafty peeps!!! I want to bring to another fabulous project tutorial using the amazing NEW medium that is taking the crafty industry by storm. ETCHALL!!!! Woop Woop, yep the best etching cream out there. Remember you can purchase all your Etchall products by visiting www.etchall.com. So lets get started on this amazing tutorial!!!!

HERE WE GO!!!

First you need to cut out from Etchall's Etchmask ( Yellow Vinyl Paper) your designs. As you can see I cut flourishes using my Silhouette Cameo!Then I grab Etchall's Etchmask Transfer Sheet to prepare the design for transferring onto the jar!

Next, Due to the design being so large I cut it from the Vinyl sheet peeled back the paper on the Transfer sheet and placed it down. Yellow side to sticky side of the Transfer sheet.

Next, I cut around the piece once it was adhered to the transfer sheet!!!Make sure when you cut out the design, you leave at least a 1 inch space all around.

I then used the awesome Etchall Squeegee Tool to make sure there were no bubbles and that the Vinyl made good solid contact to the transfer sheet.

Then, I removed the backing off the design to reveal the sticky side of the vinyl paper. This is the side that you will stick to your project.

Apply with sticky side toward your project the transferred design. Then take you Squeegee Tool and press the design down to make sure there is good contact and no bubbles. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT step!!! You will not want any Etching Cream Seeping under your designs.

Now it is time to remove the transfer sheet. If you have adhered the design on correctly and firmly, you will have no problem SLOWLY removing the transfer paper!!!

TAAA DAAAA, now you have your image onto your glass project!!

NOW IT IS TIME FOR THE ETCHALL ETCHING CREAM!!!!

With this jar being 14inches tall and 9 and half inched wide. I used the Etchall Etching Cream! For smaller Jars and contains the fabulous tutorial on how to use the "Dip n Etch" can be found by visiting Etchall's Youtube channel!!! "Dip n Etch Tutorial" brought to you by Barbara C. Bosler, CEO of Etchall

Now my whole Jar is covered in design and ready to be Etched.

 PLEASE FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTION ON YOUR ETCHALL BOTTLE SO THAT YOU CAN GET MAXIMUM RESULTS!!!!

Apply the Etching Cream very generously using the Etchall Squeegee Tool. This is such a multitasking little tool!!! You want to do this to ensure a clean and crisp etching!!! Take your time with this step!!! 

 Following the Steps that are located on the side of your Etchall Bottle, allow this etching cream to set for a total of 15 mins.

REMEMBER YOU CAN SCRAPE THIS CREAM BACK OFF USING YOUR TOOL AND RETURN IT TO THE BOTTLE FOR ANOTHER DAY OF ETCHING!!!

IT CAN BE USED OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!! woo hoo!!

After that time has lapsed, you will rinse off the remaining etching cream that could not be saved by scraping it off, with warm soapy water. Then you will peel over the yellow vinyl to reveal your work!!!

DRUM ROLL! HERE IS HOW MY PROJECT CAME OUT !!!!
