Engraving a Rock

It is soon my friends birthday and I wanted to make her something looked good.

Try to get a rock that is fairly flat as this will be the easiest to engrave. Also find a stone that is the right size and shape for what you want to draw.

For this step I printed off the drawing I wanted and then penciled the outline on the rock. You could also draw it freehand. The outline makes it easier to see where to cut.

Use the right tool for the job. I used diamond headed dremel bits. Which I bought for about £3. I chose the one most sooted to the task and then put it into my dremel 3000.

I then used my dremel to carefully follow the lines I drew in pencil. I had to go over some parts a couple of times.

Finished! After this I tried out lots of different designs. :)
