Steps:
    1. Cut design out of vinyl using your choice of cartridges. (In this video I used the skull and cross bones from the Indie Art Cartridge)

     2. Using the transfer tape, transfer the vinyl that the image was cut from to the glass(es)

    3. Use the masking tape to cover the area surrounding the vinyl.

    4. Wearing gloves and in a well ventilated area, apply the etching solution to the cut out area of the design. Cover it well.

    5. Allow the solution to stay on the glass for about 10-15 minutes.

    6. Wash the etching solution of the glass using soap and water.

    7. Pat glass dry using paper towels. Then remove the masking tape and vinyl.

    8. Wash the entire glass again using soap and water.
