WHAT YOU NEED:
Old wine bottle (I used a small one)
Paint brush
Stencil
Glass Etching Cream (I used Armour, purchased from
Michael’s with coupon)
Pour spout
Step 1. Drink your wine. If you haven’t already!
Step 2. Wash wine bottle well with soap and be sure to
remove all of the sticky from the label.
Step 3. Create your stencil or prepare purchased stencil. I
made mine using my Cricut Machine. I
used The Calligraphy Collection Cartridge and used the Shadow font. To make
stencil I use Contact Paper (the clear kind with a sticky back that you line
your drawers with) you can pick up a roll at Target for about $5.00. WAY
cheaper than purchasing Stencil paper for simple projects like this.
Step 4. Apply Stencil to your clean bottle. Be sure to
smooth it down really well, so the etching cream won’t leak. A Popsicle stick
works well to do this.
Step 5. Stir your Etching cream and apply a THICK layer of
your cream. Follow the instruction on your Etching cream, but most are pretty
simple. Leave on for 60 seconds and then wash off with water. Be warned,
etching cream can burn your skin very quickly!
Step 6. Remove stencil, fill with your favorite Olive Oil
and pop on a Pour Spout. Enjoy.
This entire project cost me under $10. I already had an
empty wine bottle, Stencil and paint brush. The only items I had to pick up
were Glass Etching Cream and a Pour spout. The possibilities of Glass etching
are endless! So many ideas floating around in my head, I will share more soon I'm sure!
