    Hey Jen,
    I've been learning/using my cricut for 2+ years now and figuring everything out mostly by trial and error. Have a a couple pretty successful online decal shops and am migrating into glassware. I spent a couple of weeks working on the curved glass applications and sizes for all my logos on different glass pieces.
    I found your page yesterday while looking for tips n tricks, and honestly I haven't stopped watching lol. I think my cricut knowledge has more than tripled just this week, and that's solely due to you.
    So, THANK YOU. These videos are all amazing and you legit show anyone willing to put in the effort that its totally doable. Just wanted to say THANKS, and how great your content is.
    Cheers!

      I’ve learned SO MUCH from watching a few of her videos. I love her creativity and how she made it so easy for us to understand. And puts things to the test so we don’t have to lol.
      THANK YOU JENNIFER

    Many thanks Jennifer! I stumbled accross your tutorial and thought I'd give it a try after some failed attempts at etching with this product. No where on the instructions do they say to continuely brush the product on for 3 full minutes. Armour Etch basically instructs you to glob it on and leave it for 1 to 3 minutes which left me with a patchy sloppy mess. Your method left perfect clear crisp writing on my bottles ( I etched 12) and they all came out perfect!! Just a note I used some removable vinyl that I had on hand (didn't like the color) and it worked great.

    Hello :) I just wanted to share with you and everyone... Armor Etch is a reusable chemical! Feel free to scrape off used Armor Etch with a small rubber/silicone spatula and put it right back inside the bottle for unlimited continuous use! :)

Just know that there are some days when I make LOTS of mistakes. But all those mistakes are how we learn. :)

It may sound silly when reading this but if you watch many of these tutorial videos (even some DIY network shows) certain words that are repeated just grate. You have a good voice as well.

    This is the 3rd tutorial I've seen & once again u came through. Before when I used the Armour Etch, I put it on the glass and let it sit for 3-4 minutes. However, by working it with a brush for that time, my etching was more clean and visible. THANK YOU!

    Great video, as usual. Thanks for sharing. I have done several etching projects and have even etched my glass casseroles with no problem.

I agree that simpler designs on curved surfaces makes for easier crafting and better results. I can't imagine why anyone would give you a thumbs down!😐

    If you rinse with hot water, the vinyl will peel away super easy! Also, make sure not to get ANY etching cream outside your vinyl template... it will etch immediately when it touches the glass... so you could tape the exposed edges off with blue painters tape if you want to be safe and not sorry. I have etched many things and once in a while I make a boo boo!

    • @rocketmobile
      @rocketmobile 3 года назад +5

      @@azadehpourshams4808 , no, you can't remove it, it's like engraved to the glass (and in a way IT IS still engraving, but rather using the engraving tool and *scratch* the surface in this case it's done with chemical reaction to the glass - a *scratch* in a micro way, same thing, different technique)
      But, you can use your imagination and artistic skills and mask the "boo boo" with adding more "boo boo's" and make it look like it's done on purpose. It all depends on how big the boo boo is, some defects can be turned into piece of art.

    First, I LOVE the idea of the illuminated base! I’ll be ordering some.
    I make custom bride and groom champagne glasses for wedding shower gifts. Here are two tips that I’ve learned over my many years of making them:
    1. Small scrap vinyl pieces are perfect for this! It doesn’t matter what color the vinyl is.
    2. If you’re making these to sell, recommend to customers that they hand wash with only soap and water, as the etching does wear off over time. Dishwashing speeds up that process by a lot!

    • @rocketmobile
      @rocketmobile 3 года назад +1

      The etching is abrasive process, using chemicals, it's like engraving on a micro way, but not too deep, so I can't see how a etched glass can wear off, unless you polish the etched area, than YES, it may looked like clear glass again, but to do this, you need to apply a lot of force and rubbing on you glasses while washing them.

    Love learning from you. You are so calming & you make me feel like I *can* do anything!
    Q: Does the quality of the brush you use to apply the etching cream matter? I picked up an inexpensive set of 5 at a local craft store that say they are made with 'soft natural bristles'. I'm hoping they will work for this process.
    Also related to the brushes; do you reuse them & if yes, how many times? My guess would be to use them until the bristles start adhering to your project. Well, hopefully before they make a mess of things anyway.
    For viewers: do you find yourself nodding & talking to Jennifer during her videos? LOL !!!
    It's like having your best friend in the room with you sometimes!

    one thing i learned about this etching cream is it is so strong that not only the cream itself can etch but also its fumes. ones the fumes (which is not visible) comes in contact with the glass, it will instantly eat away. so its better to turn off any fan that can blow the fumes on the side of the vinyl where you applied the cream.

    Thanks so much for sharing this video Jen. I've watched two other videos by someone else and the out come was a major fail for etching glass. Your video was so full of info the other youtubers left out. I should of followed your tutorial in the first place. Thanks to your tutorial in etching glass my project came out awesome. Thanks again Jen! You truley are the Best!🙂

    My mom used to etch glass using Armour Etch, but she used Contact Paper and traced designs on then cut out with an xActo knife! Soo much easier to do now with a Cricut!

  • @aloha1lanakila

    Aloha from Hawai’i Jennifer. Question for you. I suppose the idea for making multiple etchings of the same decal on multiple items such as the wine glasses would require one to print out as many of the same decals as you need? You do not have a technique to reuse the same decal repeatedly right? Thank you

    • @JenniferMaker
      @JenniferMaker  Год назад

      Not for etching because it needs to have a good seal so the etching cream does not get under the stencil but we do have a reusable stencil tutorial for other things. jennifermaker.com/reusable-stencil-with-cricut/

    • @aloha1lanakila
      @aloha1lanakila Год назад

      That makes complete sense. I have a new respect for those who create great glass etching work in multiples using this method. Thank you Jennifer for your generosity in helping many people make a difference in our lives. I am supper humbled by your timely reply, and ultimately, for your super superior talent and platform. As a new Cricut owner, I may have been too excited to ask a greater question instead to merit your attention. Alas, I have some etching to complete in 2 weeks so I greatly appreciate your time. Mahalo nui loa! Thank you very much!

  • @brendalawrence6732
    @brendalawrence6732 5 лет назад +1

    I didn't not you were supposed to keep the etching cream moving then etching! I've been etching for a few years now, and never knew that. Not sure if it was changed from when I started or what, but never saw those directions. Good to know as your etching was flawless. Hugs, Brenda

    • @MariaDavidsonsondais
      @MariaDavidsonsondais 5 лет назад +1

      Armor Etch does not say to move around in the instructions. I just visited their website because I just put it on and walk away and wondered if there were new instructions. They don't have anything new, it says to put on a layer thick enough to hide the design, wash after etching is done.

  • @ACB2K
    @ACB2K 4 года назад

    Snipping the vinyl, but not too close to the design, is another good way to have the design lay properly around the curve.

    One thing I notice is that NO ONE mentions to make sure you clean your sink out very well after rinsing your project after using Amour etching cream. IT WILL ruin a porcelain sink if you do not clean it well afterwards. I know this from experience. I thought I rinsed it out enough, but recommend CLEANING it very well. I love watching your videos Jennifer Maker.

    I made my first design with the help of this video, thanks!! I just want to say tho, that I put green painters tape around my vinyl stencil and the armour etch etched through it. So I'd suggest something else, or double up the painters tape! I did leave the etching cream on for about 20 minutes, so I'm assuming that contributed as well.

  • @betteboop57

    YOU make it look so easy!
    I work 8 hours a week at a low income senior apartment community and the tenants LOVE crafts
    Two of the ladies started talking about etching and then everyone else chimed in and they all want to try it. We usually have about 10 people that attend crafts
    Do you sell the stencil on the transfer tape? I am just totally lost!
    I thought we would try a very simple thing for Valentines Day. I want to get the small square class planters from Dollar Tree and may be etch, one large hard and two smaller ones.
    Please let me know if you do or if not, where I can get these!
    Thanks!

    So glad i came and watched this video. I had just watched another video and the stuff they used they said donr soak in water, dont put in dishwasher ...pretty much just for looks. And they used screen print ink to add more color because theirs didnt show up much. All around not good! I kind of scratched the idea of trying this until I saw your video! So thank you!

    As of this posting, 1.9% of responders have zero appreciation for ingenuity and fine craftsmanship. These are the people whose stereo cabinets are made of 2x8's and cinder blocks that they use to blast "Free Bird" all day long. Go brush your tooth.
    Awesome video, Jennifer! Yet another project I never realized a Cricut could be instrumental in creating.
