Etched Tumblers

My two year old grandson loves to watch the music video for "What does the fox say?".  It's so popular right now that I decided to etch a few plastic tumblers with this design.  I'll take them to the craft show in December.

The fox face is clip art and I used Antigoni Med font for the lettering.  The stencil was cut from Oracal 651 vinyl and I etched it with my blasting cabinet and glass beads.

Etching With My Blasting Cabinet Today

It's beginning to cool off some in Oklahoma.  It's almost cool enough to enjoy working outside so I took the opportunity to use the blasting cabinet this afternoon.

A while back, I picked up these insulated tumblers at the Dollar Tree thinking I'd decorate them with vinyl for Christmas gifts.  Today, I etched some glassware for gifts and saw the tumblers on my shelf and decided to give etching on acrylic a try.

This stuff etches so quickly!  A single pass of the nozzle and the design's done.  I did the blue one first as a test and then a friend asked me to do one for her with the Texas longhorn emblem.



I'm not a football fan at all, but I did ask her if I could put the longhorn head on her cup upside down.  LOL!
