Etched Glassware for a Perfect Port Party

Last summer a group of us girls went over the western slope of Colorado in Palisade where they are known for their wineries.  We went to vineyard after vineyard, toured wineries, and enjoyed of coarse some wine tasting.  After a fun filled weekend, we headed home with our wine and port, and promised ourselves we would get together for port party, and we finally did this past weekend.  I thought it would be fun for everyone to take home their own party favor which was an etched port wine glass.

Here's how they turned out!

I went to my trusty Silhouette to create the etching stencil in the font and layout I wanted.

I added the etching cream and let it sit on the glass for 1 minute according to the directions.

Then you simply wash off the etching cream in the sink,

remove the stencil, and you have permanently created your custom stencil idea on the glass.

I've done this with a whole host of glasses, the sky's the limit as far as what you can come up with for personalizing your glassware.  This is our company logo etched into a rocks glass.

Here are some more ideas for your personalized glasses.  This Wine Time glass has been a favorite at the Discover Your Home Etsy Shop, and the Cheers glass has a stencil on the bottom that says "Bottoms Up".

Last but not least, meet our newest addition to the Discover Your Home Etsy Shop, just listed today, these etched Colorado glasses.  Come on over to the Etsy shop and take a look!
