DIY Etched Juice Pitcher

Do you love juice as much as I do? I start every morning with a glass of orange juice. It really gets my morning started and helps wake me up. I also love pretty things so of course I needed a better way to serve juice than the container it comes it. Enter my DIY etched juice pitcher. I picked up this glass pitcher at IKEA - for like 4 bucks. I love it!

I used etchall® etching creme for this project. I love that is is re-usable and that even kids can use it. I have used it at my Girl Scout Camp several times for our campers ages 4-12 to make projects. They love it! So if you have kids be sure to pick some up for those upcoming summer projects. etchall® is also available as a dip.

I started by cutting a stencil using my Silhouette Cameo machine. I love this machine y'all! I have made so many amazing projects with it over the years. I also teach classes! So if you are in the Dallas area please contact me to schedule a group or private class.

My stencil material is etchmask.

• Glossy adhesive vinyl used for creating stencils.
• Adheres to glass surfaces preventing etchall® etching crème or etchall® dip ‘n etch to slide underneath.
• Compatible with all digital craft cutters such as Silhouette SD, Cameo, Cricut, etc. 

 

Apply the etchmask to your project and spread the etching creme over the open areas. I am a messy spreader so I like to apply masking tape around my stencil to make sure I don't accidentally etch areas I don't want to! Allow to sit for 15 minutes (or more if you are like me and tend to get distracted by something else and forget it is on there 😄). Scrape the creme back into the original jar and then rinse under running water. Don't worry! Water deactivates the creme so it is safe for your pipes.

For this project I wanted some extra contrast on the etch. To get this I applied White Rub-n-Buff over the etched area BEFORE I removed the etchmask. Leaving the mask in place just makes it easier to apply.

There you have it! This project took less than an hour from start to finish - even with me getting side tracked on something else while the etching creme was sitting! I hope you give this a try.
