How To | Glass Etching with your Silhouette Cameo

[@GirlArmy21]

It took me a minute to figure out what you were doing. So you made a stencil with your Silhouette and pulled out the centre of the vinyl and left the outline.Then put the paste. Awesome! These would make great gifts!

[@foos.998]

Knowing I should use a circular cutout on a glass to help prevent creases was worth watching this video. Thanks for the tip!

[@deborahjohnson1242]

Very good job on this video. Clear and easy to follow. I just bought my Silhouette Cameo and am excited about all the things I can do with it.

[@perrynorman7249]

Looks like a fun craft, thanks for sharing!

David Wolfer thank you!

[@nakotadave]

Have you ever tried this process on stone?

[@rachaelc6177]

David Wolfer no I haven't but I'm curious now so I will try that in the next few weeks and if it works I'll make a tutorial for it :)

[@SherylHTroy]

Great tutorial however I own a Cricut but I would basically do the same thing. Thanks!

[@firefirefire786]

Thank you for sharing your video

[@klorbstempel2510]

NICE VIDEO ! Keep it up,

[@rachaelc6177]

Thank you!

[@JPasquariello09]

great tutorial...thanks. We just got our Cameo and are going to give this a shot but I'm wondering how the etching cream works on acrylic...ever tried it?

[@rachaelc6177]

John Pasquariello I'm glad you found it helpful! I've never tried it on acrylic, I only know if it working on glass, mirrors, ceramic glaze, and slate. Of course you could always give it a try :)

[@joannaatkins4806]

thanks will give this a try

[@stephanosmaximus8908]

Nic vid dawg. Kept up gud wok.

[@meirene5469]

Appreciate the help video! However, this video makes assumptions that the viewer already knows certain things. I've never etched at all so I need to be shown as if I were a 5yo. Why transfer tape? What does the cream do? You cut the letter out, but then did transfer tape to what? To the cutout letter or to the remains of the where the cut came out from? You put the cream on the transfer tape itself? How does that get to the glass? Lots of holes here making assumptions the viewers have some experience with it.

[@kinhafazzio]

I'm not an english native speaker but I'll try to answer your questions (even if I'm a year late). Transfer tape is a tape you use to transfer your piece of vinyl/stencil paper to your glass. You cut your image on vinyl/stencil paper and put the transfer tape over the vinyl/stencil paper image. This way is easier to center and fix your image on your glass, it's better than peel the vinyl/stencil paper image with your hands and apply directly on the glass. The transfer paper is only for this: centering and applying the image on the glass. Once centered and applied, you peel the transfer tape off. And then you have your glass + vinyl/stencil paper, only. The "cream" is a product that reacts when applied on glass, turning the glass matte where the paste is applied. The vinyl/stencil paper image will work exactly as a stencil: will protect the areas of the glass that you don't wanna turn matte with the paste and will let the paste react on the areas where you want your image applied. Let's use a heart shape as an exemple. You cut a circle with a heart-shaped hole in the middle on your stencil paper. Then you use the transfer tape to apply this circle with the heart on your glass. The tape will make this process easier. You apply your image on your glass and take the tape off. Now you have a glass and a circle with a heart-shaped hole in the middle sticked to it. You put the paste over the image you've sticked on the glass. The paste will react only on the heart-shaped hole, 'cause there's no stencil paper protecting this hole. The rest of the image/circle is protected by the stencil paper, and will not affect the glass. Once dried, you peel off the stencil from the glass and voilà, you have a permanent matte heart on your glass!

[@hannah051008]

Great video. What type of vinyl did you use?

[@leonardkrauss3499]

Did not even know how it was done. Quite impressive. Where can you buy one of these machines?

[@rachaelc6177]

You might be able to find it cheaper at Walmart or a craft store. And the silhouette website has their products for sale as well :)

[@finnenoksen3360]

Good job :-)

[@popvision8857]

i don't understand the significance of the transfer paper. if you already have the stencil, couldn't you just stick that on the glass and dab on the etching cream?

[@justwantaplaylist1]

that's what I thought, too. This seems like an extra step and it looks like it's not necessary. Does anyone know why you need the transfer paper ?

[@izackhairis6951]

Letters such as B D P and R has that inner semi circle thingy. Using transfer tape will get u a clean uniform finish. And vinyl are quite stretchy as well so on a round surface like the glass u may end up having a distorted letter stencil if u dont use a tramsfer tape

[@phife1878]

@@justwantaplaylist1 Like the other person said, you use the transfer tape to transfer the center of letters(A, D, R, O, P, Q, B). Otherwise, you'd be placing the centers by hand. Transfer tape also allows you to apply more complex designs, like landscapes or trees.

[@trulyfreeindeed]

Can I use the Cameo 3 and just buy etching cream?

[@marlenelyles1495]

Great work Rachel. Do you sell designs? I'm interested in getting some from you.

I don't right now, but I was thinking of opening an etsy shop

Just i have a question, What kind of transfer paper or vinyl are you using ?

[@536767676533766]

Toilet paper, same paper you use to wipe your big ass Pedro. You can even try used toilet paper. Dumb question Einstein look it up you lazy ass men

[@lifeis_vr]

where can I get the material?

[@tripios]

hello cameo can cut emboss and put foil?

[@nguoilinhvietnamconghoa9931]

Look good to me - Where I can buy the supply for this project ?

[@rachaelc6177]

NGƯỜI LÍNH VIỆT NAM CỘNG HÒA thank you! You can get the silhouette and the silhouette etching kit at almost any craft store like hobby lobby or Michaels or on the silhouette cameo website. I also recommend getting glass items from the dollar store to practice on before you etch a more expensive piece of glass

[@nguoilinhvietnamconghoa9931]

Thanks a gain ! So we can clean the Glass with water and also we can use this for to drink?

[@rachaelc6177]

Sorry for my late reply, but yes you can clean it with water and use it to drink. It will be dishwasher safe and should hold up with normal everyday use.

[@reesedaya6658]

Which is better to invest in... the Silhouette Cameo or the Cricut

[@dymangirl88]

did you make a decision yet?

[@reesedaya6658]

No love... still clueless 😞

[@traceylevasseur2906]

I ended up getting the Cameo instead of the Cricut. Read a bunch of reviews that said the design software was better with Silhouette. I found it pretty easy to learn and you can still use all the Cricut material which seems to be more common/on sale than Silhouette. Good luck!

[@reesedaya6658]

Thanks Tracy for the help ... I think I will be getting the silhoutte cameo too... which version did u get?

[@littlepanda2731]

I got the cricut maker a couple days ago cause i wanna cut a lot of stuff. But I know a lot of people wanna use their machine without internet. So i wouldnt suggest cricut if you have problems with internet

[@aubreyjclark]

What kind of vinyl is the stencil made of?

[@536767676533766]

Honey ass Vinyl What do you think einstein, she told it 5 times in the video are you dumb deff or blind what are you?????Sjeeeeez

[@yolandaclay596]

what kind of paper is that?

[@tripios]

how thick paper can cut?

[@cindyerhardt983]

can the etched glass go in the dishwasher

[@rachaelc6177]

Cindy Erhardt yes, as far as I know it should be fine in the dishwasher. Although, It may vary with different types of etching cream.

[@islamsharabi1]

Please.what material used for paint Name

[@tellmadonna]

what etching cream are you using?

[@rachaelc6177]

I just used the silhouette brand etching cream. It comes in the silhouette etching starter kit, but you can also find it on their website, Amazon, and most craft and hobby stores.

[@tellmadonna]

+Rachael's Life Thanks. I've been using the armour etch cream and it doesn't seem to be as deep and takes longer.

[@SunilKumar-si4jp]

thank you

[@zaraking8875]

Why can't you just use vinyl instead of stencil paper?

[@ThatMoralGuy]

great tutorial, but there was a lot of extra time that could've been cut out.

[@panhandlepilot9363]

Sorry but disagree. As a beginner, she shows nicely how to do it. If you are experienced, then I can see your point.

[@maryusma9606]

What's the name of the paper?

[@javieruriel]

what is that cutting machine?

[@rachaelc6177]

Hi Frank! It's called a silhouette cameo, you can find it at most craft stores. The cricut is very similar if you have trouble finding the silhouette.

[@javieruriel]

@@rachaelc6177 thanks I really appreciate your answer, I want to do that but over gold rings.

Can you reuse transfer paper

[@whitedevil9262]

reese daya I reuse my transfer paper and can get 4-7 uses out of it before getting trashed. Depending on the brand, some are stickier than others and could last longer.

[@Adolphe.]

how cost cameo machine ?

[@gideonk1968]

hw can i have the etching cream

[@536767676533766]

Good video, but advice for your next video a little bit faster. I like it fast and quik. Too many stops and breaks can better ;) Only advice Rachel.

[@countrygirl4422]

You can buy everything you need at a hobby store. Super easy you can buy the stencils, the Armor Etching cream. This video makes it seem a lot harder because she's making the design. You can buy the letters already made at a hobby store also. You can also etch on mirror if you like. I hate when people make easy shit harder than what it really is. Of course you can do it this way if you like. It's not rocket science. Go to a hobby store read the directions on the Armor Etching cream. Have fun!

[@thebeststooge]

Laser machine makes it faster and with less mess and costs less because it doesn't need all of those materials. 350-400 buys a laser machine to do this.

[@rachaelc6177]

Thanks for the information I'll have to check those out

[@thebeststooge]

Rachael's Life 3 months ago the laser fell to 250-300 then the closer it got to Christmas the higher they went so spring time they should come back down.

[@sharpeningtech]

@the best stooge, where are these laser machines?

[@sinanogus]

Costs less if you are doing it as business. The cream costs you like 10 bucks.. And it can be reused multiple times as some people don't rinse off first and put the excess cream back in the bottle then rinse it.
