Comments on: How To Make Etched Glass Pantry Jars http://tipnut.com/pantry-jars/ Creative Homemaking Ideas & Household Tips Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:38:05 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Anitra F http://tipnut.com/pantry-jars/#comment-61506 Anitra F Sun, 03 May 2009 16:12:24 +0000 http://tipnut.com/?p=6249#comment-61506 Glass etching cream in various sizes can be readily obtained at Michael's Crafts. For practice and instructions, buy the small glass etching kit first - then you can buy the letters, and other patterns, also available at Michael's. The best brushes for applying it are the small wire brushes available at Lowe's - it is best to dab the cream on rather than paint it on. I do not have any financial interest in either Lowe's Hardware or Michael's Crafts. Glass etching cream in various sizes can be readily obtained at Michael’s Crafts.

When selecting a type style, use a block letter style as compared with a serif or script style. (The serif style letters have the little curly-q's at the ends of the character.) The block style letter has more surface area to make contact with the jar and prevents the etching cream from getting underneath the sticker. As a rule of thumb, the letter is as wide as it is tall so plan how many characters you can fit on a line. The font style in the photo appears to be Futura.
