We will show you how to actually engrave using an engraver!
Draft on the bottle
This time we're engraving a mini bottle.
You can make a rough sketch using a water-based pen or a special pencil.
Instead of writing directly on the material, you can also use masking tape with a guide and carve over it!

Engraving
Once everything is ready, we can start engraving.
Slowly draw the letters as if tracing the draft.
The engraving is mono-line, so you can add shades to your liking.
Once you have finished carving, use a brush to remove any excess powder from the surface.
Completed!
After this, you can add color to the carved letters.

By using the engraving technique, you can write on items that are difficult to write on with ink.
Another attractive feature is that the engraved letters will never disappear!
You can add text to a variety of items, including bottles, mirrors, tiles, wood, and glass!
