The Dremel Multitool is a versatile craft, hobby and DIY tool that can be used for a variety of tasks. With a wide range of accessories and attachments that can be used in conjunction with the Multitool, you can use it to sharpen, grind, sand, cut and engrave on various materials. 

 

 

Below we offer step-by-step instructions for making your own engraved glass Valentine's Day gifts.

 

 

 

 

At the DIY Divas workshop we used the Dremel 3000, Dremel 4000 and Dremel 8200 cordless to engrave wood, stainless steel and glass. Plus, the ladies got to practice the art of making lace eggs.

 

 

 

 

With a Dremel Multitool and silicone carbide grinding stone (84922) is easy to recycle glass food jars for your own personal use. Simply print out stencils to make it easy to transfer the design onto your glass food jars. 

 

 

 

 

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, we thought it might be nice to make it the theme for this week's DIY Divas Workshop. 

 

 

 

 

Using a Dremel Multitool and silicon carbide grinding stone (84922)) we engraved hearts on small, glass storage jars to give as gifts or keep.

 

 

 

 

The next project was to engrave a Valentine's message on glass mugs.

It's so easy to engrave on glass items using a Dremel Multitool. For this project we purchased small glass containers and glass coffee mugs.

 

 

 

 

The easiest way to transfer a design onto glass, especially if you are not good at drawing, is to print out a design from the Internet. The printed design is stuck onto the inside of the jar or container with sellotape.

 

 

GOOD TO KNOW

If you need to press the design firmly against the front of the glass, pack with tissue paper.

 

 

 

 

Working with smooth strokes from left to right, and turning the glass container as you work, outline the design and then fill in any detail.

 

 

 

 

To make the design stand out we filled the engraved areas with red permanent marker. Use tissue paper to wipe off before the ink has time to dry.

If you struggle to follow the design simply by taping down, outline with a permanent marker, remove the design and follow your pen lines. The marker can be removed with tissue paper and mineral turpentine.

 

 

 

 

 

We used the same method above to engrave on our glass coffee mug.
