Mirror etching-wedding style!

My son is getting married next month and his fiancé asked me to etch a mirror that they could display at the wedding and hang in their home afterward. Cutting such large stencils was tricky but doable.
There is a little bit of bleed from the etching cream but overall I’m very pleased.

Etching cream used

The directions say to let it set 3-5 minutes but after some online research I let it cure for 30 minutes before I wiped it clean.

Actually—yes!!! I made these coasters to commemorate the date and these glass toppers so their drink doesn’t get bussed away by the servers

They’re both math nerds, can you tell?
(That wasn’t a dig! I’m super proud of both of them!)

You can tell we’re… a certain age… because we feel like we need to make sure each other knows that we’re not using “nerd” as an insult! :rofl: So glad your kiddo has found his common denominator! :wink:

What a fun idea! This will be such a nice piece for the wall of their home!

Their wedding date is 11 years and 1 day after my own :blush:. My husband and I like to text each other I love yous and other sweet sentiments at 11:11. It looks like they’ll have their own special time of each day!

You did such a good job lining up alI those stencil pieces! I always run into bleeding outside of stencils too. If you have any future projects where you want to get a clean etched look, there’s a frosted vinyl that gives the exact look of etched glass (I used some to add a phrase to our bathroom mirror and it’s been going strong for years).
