DIY Mustache Glass with Martha Stewart Glass Etching Cream

DIY Mustache Glass, so cute and so easy to make!

Last week, I was thrilled to get a little box of Martha Stewart Crafts glass painting goodies in the mail. I found so many great ideas for projects at the Martha Stewart glass painting site, and was excited to try the etching cream. I decided to make these fun and easy DIY mustache glasses.
These look amazingly professional and they literally take minutes to create. Bonus; when you drink out of them, you look like you have a cute little mustache!

Supplies needed:
Martha Stewart Glass Etching Cream and brush (included)
Adhesive vinyl stencil – I used my digital craft cutting machine to create one
Rubbing alcohol
Plastic gloves
DIY Mustache Glass, so cute and so easy to make!

Step 1: Clean glass with rubbing alcohol to remove any dirt or residue.

Step 2: Apply vinyl stencil and make sure inside edges are smooth and flat.

Step 3: Using disposable gloves to protect your skin, generously apply glass etching cream inside stencil.

Step 4: Leave etching cream on for 30 minutes. Optional: At the 15 minute mark, apply a second thin coat to help the product distribute more evenly.

Note that the instructions say 15 minutes, but the etching was very faint at that time marker.

Step 5: After 30 minutes, rinse etching cream off using gloved hands to help it along.  I also took the safe route and placed a plastic bowl in my kitchen sink to protect the finish of my sink, then I poured the diluted cream and water straight down the drain.

Step 6: Peel off the vinyl stencil and use your cute new glass. It’s even dishwasher safe!

I loved our new mustache glass so much, I made a little set. I think these would make adorable gifts. Perfect for Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day, or even groomsmen gifts.

The Martha Stewart Glass Etching Cream is so easy to work with, and clearly the possibilities are endless. I love the idea of turning inexpensive glasses into a unique, personalized gift. The results are truly professional looking, and I am so impressed with this product.

    Oh my goodness, so cute! My husband occasionally grows a mustache…maybe I’ll just make one of these for him and hope that will get rid of his obsession with growing one.
