- FrogTape® Shape Tape
™
- Etching Cream
- Glass Candle Holder – similar to the one used here
The glass surface needs to be clean and then you start on your design. Starting out I wasn’t exactly sure how I wanted to do this and played with the position of the tape quite a bit before I got it just right.
The Shape Tape™ is very easy to use because the backing actually peels of in two strips so you don’t have top worry about placing an overly sticky strip of tape. Simply peel one side before you position the tape and then peel the other side when in place.

The Shape Tape™ is great for this kind of project because it is treated with patented PaintBlock® Technology, which is a super absorbent polymer forms a micro-barrier that seals the edges of the tape, which helps prevent paint bleed. So you get nice crisp lines. I covered the rest of the holder with blue FrogTape® painters tape to protect it from the etching creme.
The etching cream is the consistency of a thick pudding. Apply thickly and according to the bottle’s directions and let it sit about 15 minutes. Be careful not to get any on the exposed areas because it will leave a mark even if only on for a minute.
After 15 minutes scrape the etching creme off the glass and for most brands you can put it right back in the original container to be used again. Rinse the glass with water and remove the tape.
It looks pretty all by itself!
I added some Candy Corn to celebrate Fall and a candle.
Then put it in place on top of my entertainment center.
Wow. This is great. I’ve never heard of shape tape. Thanks for the info and great tutorial
C.u.t.e. Looks easy and fun. Hope it comes to a store near me soon.
Love this tape. Cute idea to etch the pattern into a vase. Love it!
I love SIMPLE crafts! This loves like something that I will enjoy doing, and it also looks like some thing that I can do with my older kids. I remember my first glass etching, back in fourth grade. Thanks for bringing back those memories.
That is cool! I’ve never seen shape tape but will be checking it out at the craft store! 🙂 Stopping over from Serendipity and Spice!
So creative. I’ve never seen this tape. Will definitely put it on my list of things to try. I’m thinking pantry. Found you on Teach Me Tuesday. Pinned and Tweeted.
Cute! It reminds me of Charlie Brown’s shirt. I have no idea where that came from. Etching glass is so much fun. i love to do them for gifts. I hope your having a great day!
This looks so cool! Pinned. Lou Lou Girls
