How to Etch Glass: Personalized Pyrex Dishes

How to make an individual glass with pyrex

This is a fun product - the perfect gift for Christmas, holidays, birthdays or weddings! We've traveled a lot in the last 19 years, so we're getting rid of things all the time. I was going to destroy everything in the kitchen at once, but what do you know?

The rest of my name is the Pyrex plate ... in all the media. Good to have lunch or dinner with a neighbor because your name is always on the plate and you will be back! Again, this is a great gift idea!

Required materials:

Pyrex plate (or other glass)
Vinyl - can also be used for paper (to fit in a bowl)
Tape transfer (optional)
Cricket machine (you can use a knife and a spelling pattern)
Cream for etching glass
Laundry and paper towels

Start by cutting out your favorite names from vinyl. I used my cricket maker, but again, this can be done with a knife and stencil on cheap contact paper.

Then draw the inside (or space) of each letter so that vinyl (or negative space) can be used as a template.

Then remove the plastic wrap and stick the vinyl in a bowl. I used duct tape for soft transitions, but sticking to them works like a sticker, just don’t forget inside.

I chose the interior of the rug because there was a logo at the bottom that interfered with the vinyl. So, for best results, put it directly in a glass baking dish.

Then use a scraper or large brush and apply H-cream on top of the letter. In the past I have applied very little cream and it leaves a dull look instead of pure h. So be generous! Leave the whipped cream in the glass for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, throw the whipped cream in the trash. Surprisingly, this cleansing cream can be reused by scratching it in a bottle!

Wipe as cleanly as possible without using vinyl under the cream. The itchy cream fixes everything with a shiny coating, so don’t use it on the sink. Sure, the time for this is 15 minutes, so it may not be too long ... but it’s good that they don’t sink.

Carefully remove the vinyl disc and discard it.

Then use a damp cloth to remove excess cream.

Then wash the dishes in the sink with warm soapy water. Admire the amazing dry shape! i love it! Great when things are called ... and it’s fun too.

Then quickly look for a small glass around the house and come up with all sorts of things you can cut out! Hahahaha. Repeat this process for all glassware within 5 miles. After I cooked food for the neighbors, we brought Coca-Cola. ;) Winner-winner!

This is the perfect handmade Christmas gift! Add the couple’s last name to the food they serve ... or bring your own food to get them back for more! Easy to care for, wash dishes as usual.
