Etching glass using the Silhouette craft cutter

[rgeiger74]

Can you use any image from the internet, or only the ones that come with the machine?

@rgeiger74 With the current version of Silhouette Studio (free on their website) you can trace an image automatically or create your own freestyle. My understanding is that if you upgrade to the paid version, you can input other vector images like those from Adobe Illustrator but I haven't verified that myself.

the uneven finish is likely due to using a brush. try spreading the creme like icing a cake.

Do you have written instructions on this technique? The video is great but sometimes I need written instructions to follow.

[pigsinpajamas]

@IQaos Yes, I do! I just updated the description of the video with the link. Hope that helps!

@pigsinpajamas Fantastic! Thanks for that and I'm really lucky I found your video. It plays into some of the things I want to try for the Holidays.

You don't need a cutting mat to cut vinyl?

[pigsinpajamas]

@mianux724 No, you don't. The backing on the vinyl is sufficient.

I think they're from Macy's. But when we replace them, we plan on going with IKEA :)

Thanks for posting! Are those glasses from Ikea? I have blue ones just like them!
