Silkscreen stencils for DIY projects
Supplies
Glass Jar
Etching cream (we use Armour etch)
Stencil (silkscreen transfer)
Paintbrush
Squeegee

Select your favouite stencil to etch.  Ensure to "fuzz" it off. The stencils love to stick to glass-- "Fuzzing" the act of temporarily removing some of the stickiness will make removing your stencil easier as well as prolong the life of it. Remember they are reusable!
Carefully place your stencil and remove all air bubbles/wrinkles. The etching cream will sneak under if you do not do this. 
Etching is permanent-- there is no fix (aside from covering it up!)

Apply a generous amount of etching cream on the silk screen part, ensure full coverage.  Allow to sit for 5-20 min (longer will equal a deeper etch).   Using a squeegee, scrape the excess cream off, yes you can reuse this so I just put it back into the jar.
Remove your stencil.  Wash off both the stencil and your glass item. You want to stop the cream from etching so wash it off.
Enjoy your now dishwasher safe design!
Fill with your favourite cookies... try not to eat them all in one sitting. Check out our printables page for my Grandma's famous Jam Jam cookies!
