Making the Dream Big Glass Etching in LED Edge-lit Frame

This was a project that took me 2 years to get to, and it ended up being a very different project from the original idea of a wood carving! The idea came to me when a random conversation made me think of glass exit signs that are lit from the top.
So why not create my own edge-lit LED frame to see if I could get a similar effect on a glass etching?

Next time try cutting your template as a mirror image and etch the design backwards on the back side of the glass. LED edge lighting looks a little better that way.

nice work! could this also be done with plexiglass? do you know that?

[@jkg6211]

Sandblasting.
I don't know of an acid that would work properly on plexiglass/stencil.

Nice..I’m going to try doing one..

[@marcbenoeraguindin7606]

Once you have etched the mirror, does an LED light pass through it when it is put at the back?

[@adenanwasli61]

I think you should not set your camera on autofocus.

[@rickpietrolungo99]

Very nice but so labor intensive !

[@jamrockpirate]

It's likely Armour Etch - Glass Etching Cream - or similar.

i want to be your student.

[@dafutureediting2266]

I can't even understand

[@rushelldavidson1740]

What was that white thing you use over the desighn

[@MakerMelton]

I used a hard plastic spatula-type thing to ensure good adhesion on the edges before applying the armour etch cream.

[@jesseniacervantez4607]

Great job 👏

[@colucci.mechanical.engineer]

Which Kind of paper is that?

[@MakerMelton]

The red is sticker vinyl. I design the vector then cut the vinyl with a Cameo 4.
