Sandblasting glass is used in many ways. Result are nice patterns which make  that glass look a lot better.

But how do you make those patterns, and even more important, how do you know which part of glass you want to sandblast?
You can use sandblasting to etch the glass. For start, use some old glass to practice with so you get the felling out of it.
Take some vinyl adhesive and apply it to sand. Be extra careful not to leave any air bubbles. And keep in mind that after process is done you will have to remove it.

Then you lay glass on design you will have at end. Be smart and use black and white image since it’s easiest to use. Then cut around edges where black meet white. Now peel vinyl from the area you want it to be etched.

Sandblasting glass is now nearly done Just etch the areas, peel the remaining vinyl and the job is done.
