Project Steps

Please Note- In order for the banner stencils to lay flat and straight on the glass, choose a cylinder vase with straight sides.
After preparing the glass, lay the dragonfly border stencil along the top edge of the vase. Add the other border stencils very close and parallel under the dragonflies with a floral border between each of the bug borders.
To use the same floral border between the bugs, etch the top 3 banners before etching the bottom two. Otherwise, use 2 sheets of the borders or choose a different floral banner from the sheet.
Snip the corners of the stencil sheet border. Use the strips to cover the slim open space between the border stencils.
Follow the etching cream instructions to etch the design onto the glass.
