Fun Etched Glasses Turned Holiday Candle Holders

Posted on November 16, 2017 by Eric Robert Posted in Blog Content, Glass Art Spotlight 4 Comments

Sheila Knight shared this fun holiday etching with me earlier this year after we posted Tracy’s reverse etched Christmas project here. Sheila was nice enough to feature it here. I wanted to wait until the holiday season started so I am sharing it today to give you some festive ideas.

She basically reverse etched some mismatched glasses to represent a snowman. The stencils can easily be cut out from stencil material by hand. You could also use a cutter for more precise stencils or use our reusable snowman stencils many times over.

Then she turned the glasses upside down to make candle holders out of them. Very cool! She add the below:

This idea was inspired by Bill Erikson, a fuser friend of mine. We gave this set as an extra present to our daughter’s family for Christmas. It was well received and very effective!

Making Christmas decorative items to display in the home has always been a favorite thing to do. Etching glass is great because the white etched areas looks elegant and resembles a snowy Christmas or holiday season.

    Really cute….great idea. My question is how do you etch the glasses? Acid or glass spray paint?!

    I would say they would have been sandblasted as acid etching will leave a mottled effect.

    You can do the acid etching cream, just don’t use a paint brush…..use a paper towel or old rag so you don’t get a “brush” look.

    I agree with Suzanne, when using the etching cream to cover larger surface areas like this, it’s better to use something that doesn’t have a brushed look. It might turn out okay on smaller areas by dabbing it on thick with a brush but large areas are easier to cover with other applicators. I like to use something like a squeegee or a piece of cardstock to spread a thick layer on the glass smoothly.
