How to Etch Glass By Eric Robert Review

Recently I was contacted by Eric and asked if I would review his eBook.

Although I have never etched glass before I accepted his offer. My family enjoys crafting. I thought we would try our hands at glass etching.

My thoughts:

The eBook is written in a way that anyone can understand it. There are twenty four pages broken down in three parts. There are lots of pictures throughout this eBook. I was awed by the endless assortment of what you can do with glass etching.

 I used my favorite dish. The kids at our synagogue every week ask me," if I made brownies." Which I make every week for after Havdalah service. If I miss a week then I get sad faces.

  I used vinyl stick on letters.

 It would of turned out clearer on clear glass but I had to use my favorite dish with the words, yummy and chocolate. The words did get noticed by the kids last week when I brought brownies.

 Little Man tried his hand at it. I didn't have a vinyl stick on instead we used tape and an open stencil.

I can see that a vinyl stick on is necessary. Little Man loved it and had a blast. He didn't care that it wasn't perfect.

I would recommend that you help the kids 100% as the etching material is a chemical.
