Frosted vs etching glass
in Crafts
Hi all! I procrastinated on a project and now have only tomorrow to do it so I really appreciate your input.
I am trying to frost or etch a letter on a glass vase. It needs to be permanent. I haven't tried either method before. Is one easier than the other? Could both methods last through washing the vase several times? Any tips?
Also, I want to write something on the bottom of the vase that will be legitable and last. Any ideas that are classier than a Sharpie 
?
Re: Frosted vs etching glass
Well, hello! You didn't know I was the glass-etching queen!? Etching is permanent and lasts forever. I've never frosted....
I use Armour Etch. The exact instructions on the bottle are very easy to follow. The quick instructions are: you stick a template/stencil on your glass object (I make mine out of Contact), and dab on the etching cream wherever you want it to etch the glass. You leave it on for the prescribed length of time (5min?? it's on the bottle), and then rinse it away and remove the stencil. The first time I ever tried it, my sister and I made monogrammed bar mug sets for all of the guys in my wedding (7 sets of 4) in about an hour. Now I'm hooked and have made a ton of other stuff since (and still the same original bottle!)
