Glass Etching with Your Silhouette Machine

In this class, we use the Silhouette software to create stencils for glass etched projects.

I chose to use several different shaped objects in the class to show tips for them all. You do not have to etch the same objects, but it's good to know tips for multiple shapes. Not all glass objects can be etched. Tempered glass and some types of cookware cannot be etched due to the composition of it. The only real way to know is to test it or learn from others.

We will use the Silhouette Studio software to size the stencils, cut stencils with the Silhouette machine from both Oracal 651 & Oramask 813, transfer the stencils to get a good seal, and then etch with etching cream.

Glass etching is a great way to create unique projects that can be used for home décor, gifts, and more!
