To complete this project you will need a clear glass pitcher, etching cream & a stencil/sticker of your choice. Wash and dry glass well. Read and follow ALL directions on bottle of etching cream. This is for your safety.
After cleaning and drying the pitcher, place the stencil/sticker in place. I had a friend cut me these letters from vinyl. They stick and stay in place the best. Plus it gives you a more professional look. Make sure when asking someone to cut your design, you let them know you need to "negative" pieces of the stencil. Let them know what you are planning on using the stencil for. That will make more sense to them. As you go thru this tutorial you'll notice my letters have changed... I've done several of these! :)
Apply the etching cream to the glass where you want it to be frosted avoiding the edges of the stencil/sticker. Let sit for 30-40 min. It will become dry and hard.
After letting your etch cream sit on the glass for 30-40 min., rinse and wipe clean with a cloth. Making sure to remove ALL cream. You do not want any excess sitting on the glass anywhere, this will etch that area.
Remove your stencil/sticker. Rinse again making sure to remove any left on cream.
Add a drink mix and a note card that says:
We "pitcher" you "stirring" up some holiday cheer!
Merry Christmas!!!
I have always wanted to try this.
