wide rimmed, relatively straight wine glass
clear contact paper
exacto knife
acid etching paste (such as Armour All)
wire brush or a disposable brush
gold paste (optional)
napkins (optional)
Decide which pattern you wish to use - a narrow band works best.
Measure the width of the glass where you wish to put the design. Try to avoid steep curves - the flattest part of the glass won't bubble the contact paper as much, which can cause distortion of the design.
Adjust the width of the design to meet your measurements.
Trace the design onto the contact paper.
Peel off the back and apply to the glass, smoothing out the bubbles.
With the exacto knife, cut out your design and remove pieces you wished etched.
Apply the acid etching paste to the exposed areas with the brush, avoiding other parts of the glass. Remember, whatever the paste will touch, will be etched!
Leave the pasteon for the amount of time specified on the bottle, then wash off.
If you wish to apply gold to the design, take the napkin (the cheap, fast-food restaurant napkins work best) and rub it on the paste. In circular motions, apply the paste to the design. Scrape off any excess with the exacto knife.
Optional: If you wish to apply a stained glass jewel, you can do so by using "Goop" adhesive.
Wash the glass!
