LEARN HOW TO ETCH GLASS AND MAKE IT STAND OUT WITH COLOR IN THREE DIFFERENT WAYS!

I’m SO excited to share a new technique with you: color glass etching! Etching is an elegant way to permanently decorate glass, but sometimes I want a little more color in my decor. And I know you do, too! And so do you! Many of you have asked, “How can I add color to my etched glass to make my etching stand out more?” so I set out to find the answer. I’ve tested several color products and techniques with vinyl stencils customized and cut on my Cricut. I’m excited to share my favorite option for coloring etched designs on glass. The results might surprise you!
