Update: So many peopled asked for a tutorial I made one, check it out!
I love my dremel. My husband got it for me for Christmas a few years ago. I had actually never considered it as a tool for my wish list, but it’s been really fun! Every once in a while I like to play around with a different option, or use. This time I decided to try etching glass with it. It was really fun! I decided to use my two favorite flowers as my template. Cherry Blossoms and Calla Lillies. I think they turned out really well! I used a diamond point bit set to create these. And the possibilities are endless! Holiday themes, birthday themes, wedding themes, etc…!
