8 Gift Ideas Using The Glass Etching Technique

April 12, 2014 by Larissa Coleman

The technique of glass etching has been around for quite a while now, and while it may look to be a little complicated and intimidating, it truly is one of the easiest things you can do.  Using this method, you are able to use the ordinary glass gift and take it up a step, making it more special and personalized.

Here are 8 ideas for you to use for that next gift you are in need of.

Another reason glass etching has become popular is the use of Cricut machines, creating customized Stencils with Cricut machine then using Armour  Etch Glass etching paste to create the design.  I have  been using Armour etch since the 90’s and it is a tried and tested product and I have had great success with it. A little goes a long way so well worth the investment too.  Armour Etch in my opinion is the best glass etching cream on the market and perfect for glass etching with Cricut designs.

I haven’t done glass etching for many years, I can’t even remember what I etched to be honest. I would like to get back into it and etch some glasses in my short term rental property with the name of our beach house on.

This is a digital PDF sewing pattern, making it super convenient to download and get started right away. It’s perfect for those who love sewing cuddly companions with a rustic or nostalgic twist—just imagine this little bear nestled under the tree or perched on a child’s bed, well-loved and well-squished.

Whether you’re making it as a keepsake gift or just adding to your collection of handcrafted soft toys, this teddy is a timeless treasure in the making. Bonus points for sewing it in worn-look fabrics for an extra cozy, vintage finish.
