DIRECTIONS:

1. Set-up a workspace with a protective surface.

3. Use Cricut Explore One cutting machine, Cricut Cartridge (Life is a Beach) and Cricut Vinyl to create a stencil with your design. Glass Etching Stencils are also available online at joann.com
4. Place stencil on glass being sure to press down firmly. You don’t want bubbles near where the etching cream will be.
   *WARNING: Wear gloves when working with Etching Cream. Do NOT let the Etching Cream come into contact with anything other than the stencil area on the glass. Not for children under 18.


5. Apply the Etching Cream thickly and evenly over the stencil area. Be careful NOT to get any on any other areas of the glass. Use painters tape if necessary to extend the border around your stencil.
   


6. Allow 1-3 minutes for the Etching Cream to work. Leaving the Etching Cream on any longer risks that the cream will seep under your stencil.
7. Rinse etching cream from glass.
8. Remove stencil (and any painters tape you may of used) from glass.
9. Clean the glass surface with glass cleaner or rubbing alcohol.
