I have always owned a Dremel. That probably doesn’t surprise you. But what might surprise you is that I haven’t always been as comfortable with power tools as I am these days. That’s why I’ve always loved the Dremel. It’s a powerful little tool that does an amazing amount of things but it’s small enough to not feel intimidating. I’m also betting you’ll be surprised by all of the things a Dremel can do!

Most days I use my Dremel for everyday (for me) practical uses. Like removing paint in tight spaces.

And when I had my Etsy shop making custom name plaques, I used it to pre-drill holes in my letters to prevent the wood from splitting.

But like I told you, the Dremel can do the work of several power tools. It can cut, carve, engrave, sand, grind, sharpen, clean and polish. It can even etch glass!

For real! I have never etched glass before this day. I was a little nervous working with glass like this for the first time. I don’t know why. I drilled my fair share of glass in my day. But the etching had me intimidated. {Probably because I was using cheap glass from the dollar store and I was worried I’d etch right through it! LOL}

I decided to film my very first attempt at glass etching. Check out the video below to see how it went!

I got so excited about my new found etching abilities I wanted to etch everything. And with Fall coming up, I knew I wanted to do something with a pumpkin.

I downloaded this pumpkin drawing, printed it out and placed it inside my candle holder.

Etching it was quick and super easy. It was got easier with each glass I did.

The Dremel Micro is fully compatible with all Dremel rotary tool accessories. That means the possibilities are limitless. I already have my next project in mind, this one involves etching wood! What will you do with your Dremel?
