Glass Etching Is Easy!

Most people see a beautifully etched-glass design in a fancy shop or on a shower door in an expensive custom built home and wish they could afford to do something like it. Maybe you’ve been to a wedding where the bride and groom had custom champagne glasses made. I’m sure you have seen glass or metal coffee mugs with a custom logo engraved on them. Have you ever wished you could do that?  Now You can and it is very easy to do!

If you have ever looked into ordering custom glasses you will find that there are so many charges. You can’t just get 2 champagne glasses or 5 mugs. You have to order a minimum quantity, usually 50 or more. Then you pay an extra fee to have your design created and made into a stencil. The company you purchase from then wants to hold you to a exclusive contract for providing those items. You do not get to keep the stencil you paid for; They keep it under lock and key. If you ever want to get more items etched with that stencil you are stuck going through that company and paying whatever they want to charge or you have to pay another company to make a new stencil. Yikes!

The solution is to quickly and easily make your own stencils!

In the past, making your own stencils to etch-glass was time consuming and difficult. Once you had a design, you had to print it on strong paper or mylar. Then you had to use an exact-o knife and very carefully cut out the design. One slip of the knife and you had to start over. It was tedious job and a major strain on your eyes, hands and neck. And after all that work it was only good for a few applications!

Here is the New way of Stencil Making that saves you time and tons of money and uses your own computer.  We have been in the etching business for over 42 years and we decided that there had to be a better way of making stencils and etching glass or painting on various materials. We studied different materials and designs until we made a break-through. Now you can create your own design on the computer using any graphics software you prefer and print it onto a transparency. Then you use our custom designed Stencil Maker to make a permanent universal stencil that can be used for etching glass or metal or painting on almost anything that will accept paint. There is almost no limit to the designs you can make.

Etching is Both a Fun Hobby & a Money-Maker

In fact, these stencils can be used with water-based acrylic paint for putting your design on practically anything. We have even used them to make custom t-shirts for school sport teams, hand bags, quilt squares, cardboard cartons and even Flea Market merchandise.  If you just need stencils for any project and prefer not to make them yourself using one of the Stencil Makers listed below, then simply contact us by email and we can make them for you.  This is an easy way to get started and we even have Glass Etching Cream and Acrylic Paint and you can find this on our supplies price list at very inexpensive prices.

There are so many great crafts one can do at home but few can actually turn into a business. Etching is both a fun hobby and a money-maker. Many of our customers start out etching as a hobby but soon find that their friends, family and neighbors love their work and ask them to etch things for them. Our family loves the etched ornaments we send out each Christmas and these ornaments can even have Family Photos fused to them so that it makes a beautiful gift.  You can check this out on the Photo Keepsakes Pages listed in the Nav bar at left.  If you want to get started quickly below is an inexpensive Starter Kit and we can work with you on the stencils.  Take a look now at these very low prices on Starter Kits or check out the regular kits at the STENCIL MAKER PAGE On Nav Bar.  These kits are on very special prices for the next few days so you may want to look them over.
