Gofurr, Amethyst, or any other cricut owners

I need to make labels/ words that will stick to glass.  What medium should I use and where do I get it?  Doesn't need to be patterned, black or white will do.  Also, any special tips?  I've only ever cut paper.  Do I need to change the cutting depth or anything?

Re: Gofurr, Amethyst, or any other cricut owners

  • Does it need to be permanent? If not, I would recommend vinyl. You can pick up any color really if you go that route. JoAnn's, Hobby Lobby, or Michaels all have them for relatively cheap.

     If it does need to be permanent, I would still use vinyl but use the negative. Slap it on the glass and go over it with etching cream. It's super fast. 

    As for settings, I'd have to go look again upstairs. If you are new to the cricut, I would recommend going to aboverubiesstudio.com and purchasing the cutting guide. It takes all the guesswork out of what to set it at. :) 

    Hope this helps! 

  • Ditto vinyl. Cricut makes their own vinyl and it includes the settings to use to cut it. I have used it several times with great success. I have cut out letters and put them on textured walls and they stayed on for years until I pulled them off.
  • Another vote for vinyl.  What are you making?  Just curious :-).

  • I re did our pantry and *DH* wants me to label all the glass bottles and containers.  :)  I'm fine without the extra work, but apparently he needs it.
