Etching Glass

The Dremel Stylo is a versatile tool. Glass etching is a new experience for us. The beauty of this is you don’t need any prior experience because it’s as simple as finding or creating a design you like. All you have to do is print out the design you want, place it on the inside of your subject, select the 7103 accessory, and begin.

Pick a design.

Select a tip and trace the design.

Admire your work.

Put it to use.

Carving Wood

When etching any material, I find it’s easiest to trace the design first with a pencil or a sharpie. Afterward, I can trace the lines with the proper accessories.

For just around $59 you can get your hands on one of these. Dremel Stylo+

My Thought

I really enjoyed using this tool. It’s lightweight and easy to control. Although a cordless version would have been nice, I think the tradeoff of dealing with a cord is minor. I can see where a battery running low could be quite frustrating, especially when working on a larger project. I haven’t tackled many craft projects but this tool is really addictive. It’s kind of like using a fat pencil. The bits are easy to change and the instructions are simple to understand.

The Good

Lightweight
Easy to use
Comfortable to use
Lots of accessories
Great instructions

The Bad

Would have been nice to have a carrying case.
