Etched Glass Vase with a Silhouette

Share this post

My absolute favorite way to use my Silhouette cutting machine is to etch glass.  An etched glass piece makes such a beautiful gift.  I have made cups, vases, plates, coasters and much more.  You can see all my projects here.  Today I am sharing a simple, but stunning, Etched Glass Vase I made as a gift.

If done correctly, etching glass can be quick and easy.  This Etched Coaster post lays out what I like to use and my tips for etching. I use the Silhouette etching cream and love how easily it spreads and how quickly it works.

For this project, I used a flower background design from the Silhouette design store.  I sized it to fit my rectangle vase then cut it out of clear vinyl.  Weeding took some time, but once all the excess was cut out I used transfer tape to easily move the design to the vase.

The key to a perfect etched project is taking the time to smooth out any bubbles before applying the etching cream.  Once it’s smooth I apply the cream, then wipe it off and rinse it clean.  This creams works fast and takes just a minute or two to etch the glass.

This vase makes an adorable gift with a pretty bouquet of flowers.
