  • Armor Etch Etching Cream

Glass-etching-tutorial-Nautical-Votives-consumer-crafts-unleashed-4Step 1. You’ll want to clean the outside of your votive to make sure the surface is clean and the stencil will adhere securely.

Glass-etching-tutorial-Nautical-Votives-consumer-crafts-unleashed-5Step 2. To get started you’ll need an adhesive stencil to apply to the votive. You can easily create your own using a craft cutting machine and adhesive vinyl. I created this anchor stencil using my Silhouette Cameo and white adhesive vinyl.

Glass-etching-tutorial-Nautical-Votives-consumer-crafts-unleashed-6After using my machine to cut it, I used transfer tape to apply the stencil to the front of the votive.

Glass-etching-tutorial-Nautical-Votives-consumer-crafts-unleashed-7Remove transfer tape and securely press down the vinyl to make sure the etch cream won’t seep under your stencil.
