Are you ready for summer? How about kicking it off with a great GIVEAWAY? Hold tight for just a minute. I had the awesome opportunity to partner with ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape and The Home Depot  on this project. It’s part of their “Ready, Set, Paint” event and bloghop that features fun DIY summer painting projects by your favorite bloggers!

I’m going to show you how to get the look of a custom etched glass table. I was inspired by the design of a nautical compass rose, but you can use this tutorial to create any geometric design you desire.

Faux Etched Glass

To make a Faux Etched Glass Table you will need the following items.

  • ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape (available at The Home Depot)
  • Martha Stewart Crafts Glass Paint-Frost-  “Sea Lavender” (available in the glass paint section of craft stores)
  • flat tipped paint brush
  • ruler
  • straight razor blade
  • exact-o blade
  • chalk and string
  • Rubbing alcohol

Step 1) Clean the glass tabletop with glass cleaner then wipe it well with rubbing alcohol. The rubbing alcohol removes an soap and oil residue, helping the glass paint adhere best. With your ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape, create a giant plus sign down the middle of the table and then an “X” starting at the corners. The space between the strips of tape is the area that will be painted. Use an exact-o blade to cut away any overlapping tape.

Step 2) Paint a thin and even layer of the glass paint onto the exposed areas between the tape. This glass paint dries very quickly which is great! It also will cure itself permanently in 21 days (even faster in the hot sun). You can see how I used this paint on my super easy DIY Sea Glass Vases. 

step 1

Step 3) Measure the distance from the center to the corner. Divide that measurement by thirds. That 1st third will be where your next rows of tape will meet the “X”. After taping, go ahead and fill in the areas with paint. step 2 step 3

Step 4) Tie a piece of string to a piece of chalk. Extend the chalk end of the string to the center of the “plus” you made and hold the other end at the center of the table. Now draw a circle. 
 step 5step 4

Step 5) The points where the chalk line crosses the “X” is where you will start taping again. Then paint like before.

step 6

Step 6) With your straight razor blade, carefully scrape off the excess lines on your “X” and your “plus sign”. The paint will peel off easily with the blade within the hour, but don’t let the paint sit too long or it will be difficult to remove. I made a border with more ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape along the sides and ends.

step 7

This is how it turned out! I love it! The paint is translucent and looks and feels just like etched glass!

    I LOVE compass rose designs. I hand painted one on a rug, this is a great idea, may have to try it on my table too!

  3. Lindsay says

    Love this easy summer outdoor enhancement! I think I am going to try it with a palm leaf design!

  5. Mary Happymommy says

    I love this one–https://www.sandandsisal.com/2011/10/my-boys-beach-themed-bathroom.html

  7. Pamela says

    LOVE THIS!!!! You make it so easy looking to do for a piece that would cost so much at the store – awesome job, as usual.

  46. Jean says

    Cement or hypertufa planters are in my garden’s future. I also have a glass patio table that could use some spiffing up.

  49. Deb says

    The design really dresses up the table. A little bit of work and it looks like a million bucks!

  51. Tracy Molina says

    Thanks for the great idea! Who knew blue painter’s tape could have so many uses!

  60. Chris N says

    I just found some small cans of paint in our shed that are “fun” colors. I think I might try to paint one of our sad wood adirondack chairs some fun colors.

  61. Laura says

    What a fun project! I have a boring glass table that coule certainly use some punching up like this.

  70. Allison K says

    What an awesome update! I really want to try this on our old glass outdoor table 🙂
