Use your Cricut machine and CitriStrip to easily etch anything powder coated! Here is my favorite way to etch tumblers with CitriStrip, plus tips and tricks for crisp edges even on the most intricate details!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Ever wanted to engrave your own tumbler, but just don’t have the specialized laser machinery to do so? Same here, friend! Even those of us that own a Glowforge machine can’t create them because the machine can’t etch something that thick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years, many of us have used our Cricut machines to try and achieve a similar look. Foil adhesive vinyl is an alternative, but still doesn’t quite create a long-lasting, permanent design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until now…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to a recent TikTok craze and a paint stripping product called CitriStrip, professional quality engraved products are an option! I am absolutely *thrilled* with how my tumblers turned out. A big thank you to Leap of Faith Crafting<\/a>. I learned the basics from her and then worked to make this process work even better for intricate designs. And Adrienne at M2C1 designs<\/a> for the original process! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve ever etched glass with a vinyl stencil<\/a>, you may be familiar with the process behind this tutorial. However, using CitriStrip you can now do something similar to remove the powder coating on tumblers and other powder-coated items! How cool! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you will not be actually cutting into the metal with an engraving tool, removing the paint gives the tumblers a beautiful metallic look you would usually only find from an engraving process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’d like to make custom tumblers as gifts for friends and family members, add to your small business lineup, or sell at a local craft market, this process is sure to wow! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
