DIY Designer Inspired Etched Monogram Glassware & DIY Stencils

Tired of the endless, expensive cycle of replacing pieces of broken glassware? Try this easy diy solution.
I both love and hate glassware. I love all the creative, beautiful designs that are available but hate how the pieces are constantly being broke in my rambunctious home. Last year, I bought a beautiful set of 12 wine glasses last year (6 white + 6 red) and at first I bought replacement pieces as they broke. One year and many dollars later, I'm down to four and have given up on the whole lot.
However I did NOT want to get in the endless cycle of purchasing replacement pieces, so I set out to DIY it. I was thrilled when I found heavy plain glasses at a local dollar store of all places.
First I created an stencil using adhesive shelf liner or "contact" paper.
I stuck the stencil in position on the glass.
I added "etching cream" to the glass using a small paint brush and rinsed off the solution.
I peeled off stencil and washed well.
Last but not least, I kicked my feet up on the back porch and enjoyed my work!

You answered my dah day! Contact paper....as in cabinet lining paper. Talk about saving money by using contact paper rather than that recommended with the etching cream!
