Preparation and Usage Starting Skills

Project Steps

This design was etched in stages.The technique allows the use of a particular stencil image multiple times on the same project when you don't have enough to etch all simultaneously. Additionally, it enables stencil images to be placed in closer proximity than the stencil borders would otherwise permit.
After preparing the glass, draw a centerline down the back. See the centerline tutorial if necessary. Place the Claddagh across the widest part of the goblet with the centerline running down the middle. Place the MOM letters into the center of the heart starting with the O in the middle and press down firmly. See the lettering tutorial if necessary. Follow the etching cream directions to etch the Claddagh onto the glass.
Looking through the back of the glass, place the cross centered and as close as possible, above the Claddagh. Place the heart knot bellow, centered and as close as possible to the bottom of the Claddagh. Use the etching cream, as before, to etch these onto the glass.
Looking through the back, fit the heart knots into the design above the Claddagh as pictured. Use the etching cream again to etch these into position.
