As a creative escape from the drudgery of my 9 to 5 job, I enrolled in glass etching classes last year. The classes involved lots of glass engraving activities, and though I had to go through the initial learning hiccups, I nailed it at the end. Taking a cue from Sometimes Homemade, my first glass etching project at home was with mason jars.

Mason Jars with Engravings

What You’ll Need

• Mason jars
• Etching cream
• Stencils
• Paint brush
• Rubbing alcohol
• Cotton Ball

Step-By-Step Instructions

1. Clean the jars thoroughly with the cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol and leave it for drying.
2. Place the stencil on the jar and apply the etching cream to the inside with your finger or a small brush. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes.

3. Wash the jar under running water and pat dry. (For best results, apply the cream once again and wash in the same way)

4. Remove the stencils carefully.
