It’s easy to turn a plain glass container into a cool cookie jar (figure A). All it takes is some etching cream and a little creativity. - For your design, copy a pattern from the room a stencil, a monogram even a phrase.
- To bring the design to life, start by tracing it onto adhesive shelf paper.
- It’s a good idea to clean the glass before applying the design, otherwise the etching cream can pick up oils from your fingers, leaving fingerprints.
- Press the adhesive paper onto the outside of the cookie jar.
- For smooth and bubble-free design, try a plastic putty knife (figure B). It works great as a burnishing tool.
- To prevent your design from looking uneven or streaked, apply a liberal amount of etching cream with a foam brush (figure C).
- Then, rinse the cream off with running water (figure D).
You now have a fun and functional cookie jar that will look great in your kitchen. Web Extras - Follow manufacturers’ safety instructions when using etching cream.
- You may want to use etching paste for objects where you want a patterns on a clear background or on something flat like a plate or bowl.

- Be sure to wear gloves, safety goggles and a long-sleeved shirt. Always read labels carefully and work in a well-ventilated area.
- Etching cream should not be used by children.
