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 and it enables stencil images to be placed in closer proximity than the stencil borders would otherwise permit.
This design also used a masking technique which allows for the selective use of certain parts of a stencil in specific locations.
After preparing the glass, place the dancer in the center. Follow the etching cream instructions to etch her onto the glass.
Looking through the back, lay a floral border stencil on an angle, over the middle of the dancer. Repeat this with another floral border on either side of the first one.
Use masking tape to cover all parts of the border stencils that are over the dancer and press down securely. Use the etching cream as before to etch the flowers onto the glass.
Repeat the process of adding and etching with cream until all the desired floral chains have been added to the glass.
