Sample Club: Custom Glass Etching

For this month's sample club we personalized a set of wine glasses with some elegant glass etchings. You can etch onto glass bottles and many other types of glass products depending on what it is you want to make.

Wine glasses are always a great gift idea because you can etch something romantic for Valentines Day, create a lasting memory for a wedding couple, or mark a special occasion like a reunion. Glass etching is an easy project and can make for touching memories that will last a lifetime.

Open the file wineglass.cdr. The file is set-up to reflect the width of the glass (6") and the circumference of the glass (11"). When you open your file you will see a red box with graphics and the page (6" X 11") with two dotted blue lines running in the middle of it. See Figure A.

Now, pick an image, select it by clicking onto the image with your mouse, and press "P" on your keyboard. This will center your image. Simply hit the up arrow on your keyboard to place the image within the two blue dotted lines. See Figure B. Make sure you place all your images within the two dotted lines.

Next, take one sheet of paper towel. Wet the paper towel and wrap it around the glass. Once you have done this, place the glass on the rotary. Make sure you place the bottom of the glass between the rubber wheels at the bottom of the rotary. See Figure C.
