These DIY Etched Glasses were super quick and easy to make. We put them in a gift box for our groomsmen’s gifts. You would do the same steps for any type of glass you want to etch.

Supplies

Paintbrush

Shot Glass or Whatever Glass you would like to Etch

Armour Etch A little goes a long way with this, so the little bottle should be good unless you have a huge project.

Vinyl Name Stencil

I used adhesive vinyl for the stencil for the names. The brand Oracal 651 was used. I had some clear that came in a pack and didn’t know what else to use it for so decided this would be the perfect way to use it up. I cut the vinyl with my Cricut. If you don’t have a Cricut you can order the adhesive names here (Just make sure to specify you want a name stencil and not the adhesive name).

Apply the stencil to the shot glass. Paint the Armour Etch on and leave it on for 5 minutes. Make sure within that 5 minutes you move the Armour Etch around. If you just paint it on and let it sit in one spot you will get splotches. You can also scrape it back into the container and reuse it.

Rinse off the Armour Etch. The glass will appear clear while you rinse it, but don’t worry once you dry it off the etched area will stand out.
