We had Signtech (801-364-7446) cut all of our stencils from vinyl for $3.50 per name. They did a great job and made it easy for us. We did last names on the top portion of the dish about 1 1/4" high, and a design on the bottom. We gave the choice of tulips or trees. They turned out beautifully! Here's a heads-up on one thing: a problem we ran into was that our older pyrex-type casserole dishes would not etch for some reason. All of the brand new ones etched perfectly, and some of the gently-used ones etched worked. Even if we left the cream on the old ones for 45 minutes, they wouldn't not etch. Thanks for the tip of scraping the cream off and putting it back into the jar. That worked well for us too. we did about 160 dishes with 4 jars of cream.

Apply to dish bottom. Draw pattern on it. Use X-acto knife to cut out pattern (remember to reverse letters or other directional motifs). Remove areas to be etched. Rub around edges of pattern to make sure it's sticking tightly to the glass so etching cream doesn't seep under it. Apply etching cream. Wash off. Remove Contact. By having the Contact already on glass when you cut it, the design can be quite intricate. Remove backing from Contact piece. Apply to dish bottom. Draw pattern on it.

We do high definition etching on glass and mirror, but you have a great idea that we might offer. We aren't able to do the round glasses yet, but maybe someday if we get a laser. Thank you. Mark great idea!
