Etched Family Frame

by Sue's Creative Workshop

A quick and easy project using an inexpensive frame from IKEA and Etchall Etching Crme.

Etched Family Frame

Etched Family Frame Products Used:

Etchall(R) Etching Crme

Etchall(R) Squeegee

Folk Art 30465 Peel and Stick Painting Stencil, Happy Words

Ribba 4 x 6 Black Frame (IKEA)

Removable Painters Tape

Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Paint Bottle, 1-Ounce, Picket Fence

Directions:

1. Remove glass from frame. Clean glass to remove all dirt, fingerprints and oil. Dry with a coffee filter, paper towel, or lint-free cloth.

2. Apply "Family" stencil to glass. Burnish the edges of the stencil. You want to make sure no edges are coming up.

3. Mask around the stencil with removable painters tape for extra surface protection.

4. Apply a heavy coat of etchall(R) etching crme to the masked area of the stencil.

5. Leave etching crme on design for 15 minutes. After etching time has elapsed, use the squeegee to return the crme back into the original container for later re-use.

6. Rinse etched surface with hot water to remove any remaining crme. Remember to keep crme away from porcelain sinks or ceramic tiles.

7. To make the etched letters stand out more, apply picket fence distress paint over the letters. Wipe surrounding area of the glass clean.
