For this festive glass, I started with a single wine glass and chose two designs from the Loklik IdeaStudio. I cut both designs using my Loklik machine and clear removable shelf liner to create clean, crisp stencils. After applying the designs to the glass with transfer tape, I coated the entire surface with Rust‑Oleum Frosted Glass spray to give it that soft, glowing, etched look.
Once the frosted layer dried, I carefully peeled away the liner to reveal the detailed designs underneath. To finish it off, I added a string of fairy lights inside the glass, giving the whole piece a warm, magical glow perfect for cozy winter décor.
Thank you, @Mary_Williams! I just used my Loklik, clear removable shelf liner, transfer tape, and Rustoleum Frosted Glass Spray to give it that etched glass look. No engraver needed.
Thanks so much! I’m happy you think so. The frosted glass spray is semi-permanent. It’s meant for indoor use and will last forever with proper care. However, you can scrape it off—as I had to do so in some areas where it seeped under the clear liner in areas that the liner had lifted. It can also be removed with acetone, lacquer/paint thinner, or with some household cleaners, like Scrubbing Bubbles. Using a scraper such as a razor blade or paint scraper will help in removing it if you’re using household cleaners. Window cleaner won’t remove it, though, it will clean it, as it’s main purpose is for creating a privacy window in bathrooms. Rubbing alcohol can also remove it with a scraper and elbow grease, but just wiping it with an alcohol soaked rag will not. Apparently, you can remove it with an alcohol based cleaner and a Magic Eraser, as well. It also dries very quickly, and you have to be careful as to not touch it while it’s wet, or it will leave a clear spot, and will not leave an even finish if you respray the area. You’ll still be able to tell you touched it there, even though it is frosted.
Oh ok, I see, so I guess it is a lacquer. When I see any material I like to go to the core technique beyond product formula, as I learned how to bake them all back in University and I have all the possible core ingredients. For instance, I can buy an acrylic or make my own with a good pigment and poliviniyl acetate or primal. Watercolour, pigment, gum and glycerine…
If I don’t cook them, at least I want to know its principles for a better understanding of its medium. That way you can know how much it last, how to protect it, clean it, modify it…
Thank you for that detailed explanation, I can make a pretty clear idea
