Glass etching is the kind of technique that, once you’ve learned how to do it, you can create endless patterns and projects with your new skills! We absolutely adore how frosting and intricate the etching effect looks on clean, plain glass and we also love how much glass etching encourages people to upcycle glassware that might otherwise have thrown out.
