I have my Silhouette for a few months now. I use it for airbrush stencils, but didn't know this could be done too. Thank you for sharing Amanda.
Love it this machine never ceases to amaze me thank you for sharing x
I have just purchased the etching kit and I am going to go and have a play x
great tutorial! simple yet detailed. can't wait to try this out. thanks :)
getting my etching cream soon. I am looking forward to starting the etch adventure.
Very cool and informative video, I guess I should go out now and get some blank jars and start working on next years Christmas gifts lol.
Very nice tutorial, thank you.
Wow! Thank you so much! Trying to etch "tea soaps" onto a jar that holds (guess what?) tea soaps and since my friend is willing to sell me her Silhouette, this is perfect!
Woooooooooow, that looks incredible! Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial!
Marcie, that came out beautiful. Thank you for the great video. I do have a question, can you paint the etched glass. In other words, can you color the etched parts and if so, what paint and how to do. thank you again for sharing.
Well explained
That was a very helpful tutorial...I am ordering some now...Thank You
Love this. This is now on my "to try" list 😀
Thank you for the video
Can you do this on plexiglass too?
This is great ! I had to watch it a few times to understand the transfer tape but now I get it ! Do yo have a list of products used? I have not yet purchased a Silhouette but I want to soon and make myself like a "starter kit" thanks again!
Can you use any vinyl that has a sticky back?
your project is lovely i am apprehensive using your scraping tool to spread the cream may i suggest using an old GIFT CARD grab one whem your at any resturant or hobby shop they are at the check outs and are free. then id stick said card in a little baggy for next time you use it.i only suggest this because of the toxicity of etching cream.
Oh I loved it.
Where do I get these products especially the etching cream?
Dorothy
ooh I can't wait to try!
Can you use regular vinyl and not stencil vinyl?
Very informative video thank you
Hello dear, what kind of vinyl did you used ?
Very nice video, and informative. Is this your own image? I am curious, I have my own decal I want to print as a stencil and debating between Silhouette and Cricut.
As to the glass etching, I never tried your way. I use Armour Etching ($20 for 10 oz.) I use a dedicated paint brush (cheapo) and dab it on. when finished wait 10 seconds, and re-dab to get rid of air bubbles. Then let is sit for 15 minutes. I like how that one works so fast, but seems that there is less time if I screw up to fix it.
very nice, thanks for your video, very interesting...
I followed this tutorial but my design has parts that aren't connected, such as eyes. I can't get those on the transfer vinyl. I did not use the stencil vinyl. It is so stiff and doesn't work for my project. Can you help me?
would it be eaiser to use frosted vinly and not deal with using vinly and the etching cream?
Do you need to buy the printer or can you start off with just the starter kit
so pretty. Thx
How do you do etching from a print that you don't have in the cameo machine? I have a leaf in my laptop that needs to be transferred from a picture to the machine to etch, and I can't find any tutorials about doing this. SOMEONE HELP
can this vinal be used with abrasive sand blasting?
When I remove the transfer tape from the stencil it’s sticky around the design, is that normal?
Hi. Why do you need the transfer tape? I am confused about this step. Thanks so much!
+Jen I wondered the same thing. It seems more complicated than just using something like contact paper (shelf liner with adhesive back).
can I use this kit with the silhouette Curio, or is it just for the silhouette cameo ??
Thank you!
You mention to use INK Stencil is that a brand? thank you
fascinating!
I never realized that I could do this with my silhouette. I'm wondering if they have colored etching? Would you suggest permanent vinyl or etching? I suppose it would be the look you want. Is the etching permanent? Sorry for all of the questions. Great job on the directions...

Poo ppl I trewqqwqwweuhnjo
What brand of transfer tape do you use?
can this product be used on plexiglass?
So doing etching this way is permanent and won't come off in the wash? Also wondering if you put vinyl on cups (not the etching) does it stay there eg coffee mugs, plastic cups etc
Just a guess, but it would most likely come off in the washer. It would probably last longer if you washed it by hand
*edit* I meant vinyl on the mug, not the etched glass
This is the hard way i use carbon paper
Do you need to use "stencil vinyl" or would any sticky vinyl work?
I was wondering why you used invisible vinyl, but then when you were squeezing out the bubbles from beneath it, an opaque vinyl would hide bubbles. Maybe a very light-coloured transparent vinyl would help ?
The stickiness will be important - less sticking to the original backing paper < more stickiness of the top to the 'transfer film' < most stickiness of all to the glass.
Two questions:
(1) What is the "etching creme" made of or how does it function? I remember from high school chemistry classes that SiO2 is really inert to chemical reactions and erosion (effectively etching).
(2) What's the approximate cost of the supplies to make this flower?
Almost certainly it will contain HF - HydroFluoric Acid.
'Potent' is putting it mildly - Google [HF MSDS] for the safety considerations.
In industrial applications, education and laboratories it is handled with extreme care - apron, goggles, visor, thick certified rubber gloves, fume cupboard ...
At home, it is happily used in sink cleaners !
Use in plastic bowl in sink with window open.
Keep gloves on when removing stencil - some cream may have seeped underneath. Wash all tools and your artwork very thoroughly before removing gloves. Preferably use separate tools just for etching.
Highly recommend getting HF Antidote Gel (Calcium Gluconate) £15 from Amazon, for immediate application to the skin if you accidentally get some on your skin. HF dissolves calcium out of the bones !
Seek medical attention immediately if you don't have the antidote yourself.
Safe disposal is a problem - flush with huge quantities of water.
May corrode ceramic drains. Don't bin the old jar of cream in the trash - your Fire Department may have HazChem disposal facilities ?
Do you have any tips on how to get the vinyl on to curved glass (eg. wine glass?) as I'm having trouble with it creasing up.
Thanks :-)

Aaamazing!
I don't understand the need for that extra layer (compared to just cutting a stencil out of contact paper). Am I missing something? Can contact paper (shelf liner with adhesive back) not be used to make an etching stencil on this machine?
OK, thanks. I guess that extra layer on top is just to help smooth and secure the cut stencil extra well when sticking it down then? IDK, just seems a bit unnecessary.
Thank you. I understand now.
The contact paper doesnt stick as firmly, the vinyl really helps to make sure there arent any little leaks under the edges
I'm anxiously waiting for Santa to deliver my new Silhouette Cameo, I ordered the glass etching starter kit and am anxious to give it a try! I learned so much from your video. When I post any projects on my Facebook page (facebook.com/peaceloveandjoyce) or on my blog (www.peaceloveandjoyce.com) I'll be sure to give you credit for teaching me tips & techniques for glass etching and I'll include a link to your video.
Peace, Love & Joy,

Can you add color to the etched image?
Yes you can. Clean off the stencil cream well, leave the stencil on & you can use Americana acrylic paint etc with a brush or stencil brush.
To add color to your etching, you can use Rub N Buff over the etching. It adheres to the porous etching and you can just wipe the excess off the area around the etching. It comes in many colors.
u are using the cameo and u said u can use the portit what about the original machine
I have the original silhouette before the rest come out
Can it word on steel or enamel?
