When I first learned how to etch the old fashion way with a drumel. We used the cream you have in gold, copper, silver, and a few other colors. Place them in the oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes. It's nice to see a few other colors added to the list now. Another fun video. Thank you.
Thank you Jennifer, I knew you’d have the answer! I etched some glass coasters but need to colour the etching to make it more visible. Now I know how 😀
Jennifer, you always make these video instructions clear and at the same time entertaining - go ahead girl, drink that wine!!! I deeply appreciate all of your teachings, and I have added glass etching to my list of projects. Thanks so much for all you provide to this crafting venue.
I've also heard that you can use the little jars of enamel paint and bake. But I have never tried that method. Would love for you to try this out. I love that you try different methods and give tips and opinions. Thanks for being so willing to share with other crafters!!
Thank you for always trying new things and showing us what you do. I'm always amazed by your creativity and skills. Watching your videos is my relaxing time. Thank you so much! I can't wait to try this!
I love that you show different options in your videos and have recommendations on what works best. You are so thorough! Any questions I think of, you have it covered. Thank you!
Thak you for a very informative video, I only came across rub n buff today, got all excited and went to order it, then thought I'd watch a few videos first, yours was by far the clearest. It looks great, but I prefer a really shiny finish! So I'll stick to applying metallic foils, it takes a bit longer but the finish is awesome. If nothing else, you saved my crafting brain from spending money and not getting the result I wanted lol...so thank you for that! 💜
Dishes made of Borosilicate WILL NOT WORK. Dishes from Ikea and some other brands of dishes may be made of borosilicate glass, therefore, they will not work. Borosilicate glass is a tougher type of glass. If you see a note that your dish is very scratch and impact resistant to withstand rapid temperature changes, it’s possible it may not work to etch correctly.
Thanks for your video and detailed instructions. My daughter and I love doing etching, but want to kick it up a bit. We'll be trying the Rub & Buff. Thank you!!
How beautiful, thanks for the comprehensive tutorial, truly inspirational. I want to go and try this with all my plain glass vases. I even have a set of rub & buff in my craft supplies.
I love your channel! I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into trying, testing and designing new techniques and projects for your community. You do the hard work so we don't have to, and I am really grateful for that! I would love to be able to make reusable stencils for glass etching... any ideas on what materials might work/how to adhere them? Also, would you ever consider doing a video on how you create your original designs? Thanks for all of the passion you pour into your videos!
Thank you very much💗It would be difficult to make a reusable stencil for etching due to getting a good seal for the etching cream. If you figure it out, please let me know!
You can do this! If you are new to Cricut I would suggest to start here to build some confidence and get more familiar with Design Space. 😃 We have a free series of online classes that show you how to set up and begin creating with your machine as a new Cricut owner!

Jennifer -- I'm going to give you a chuckle here -- I've just started with my Circut and luckily have found your videos (also purchased your "book") -- BUT the chuckle is that when I first started watching how to etch glass -- I was wondering how in the world you were going to get the glass in the Circut machine!!!! Hahahahaha!!! (blonde moment!!!)
Not all glass is designed for use under extreme heat. Only oven-safe glass containers can be used in the oven, including tempered glass and borosilicate glass products. While many glass products, such as plates and bowls on which you eat, are not recommended for use in the oven this is for a short time to set the inks.
This is so amazing thank you for all your crafts!!! My question is with the rubb and buff, how long before it washes off? I am making friendship glass tumblers for my friends and want to know if it's worth color etching it, or just use vinyl? Thank you again for all your help .
Thank you. glad I watched this as etching seems bland with no colour. I got paint pens so will try this out. Also I always use to lay my glasses on is the cardboard sides that come with the maker inside the box it is perfect and stops my glasses from moving
I just discovered your channel and as a software trainer, I am very impressed with your tutorials. I apologize if you have answered this before but do you ever use the Cricuit vinyl stencil material for this? I just purchased a Cricuit Joy. Thank you.
I was wondering if after etching you could leave the stencil on to help colour get into more precise places of the design. Also wondering about the use of alcohol inks to colour etching, have you tried this? Thank for the very informative video. 1😊
