When etching glass with the cream method you only need a few basic supplies. You will need to find a graphic in black and white and trace it on to vinyl to create a stencil. A basic way to do this is to use tracing paper but there is much easier ways discussed in Glass Etching Secrets.

Once the design is traced onto the vinyl or rubber resist, you can cut it out with an exacto knife. After the pattern is cut, peel the areas out that need to be etched. Now you can start etching with your glass etching cream. So here is a list of supplies that you will need to etch glass with cream shown below. If you want to etch glass with a sandblaster, seek the Information Manual or glass etching equipment section.

  • Glass etching pattern
  • Carbon Paper
  • Pen or pencil to trace design
  • Vinyl Resist material (Contact paper)
  • Squeegee to apply vinyl resist on glass smoothly
  • Exacto knife or hobby knife
  • Glass etching cream
