"Hi, this is Cheryl from Expert Village and I'm going to be teaching you how to make fused glass jewelry today. So, check it out. Now, in order to do the glass etching, so you can make a pretty little picture on your little pendant. Basically, I use a little plate to put water in, because you always need water with glass, because it will break if you don't use it. And you can ruin your tools alot. So what I use to etch is a Dremel, its just a regular handy, dandy Dremel. I got it for Christmas, rock out. You actually have to use a diamond bit drill and you can buy it at any basically store, Home Depot, Lowe's, the normal. And you always have to make sure your glass is clean so I just use regular rubbing alcohol and a rag because you have to reduce, reuse, recycle. Go green guys. Basically just clean it off real fast and make sure there's no fingerprints, cause if there's any fingerprints on it will definitely show up. You basically clean it twice, before you fire it in the kiln. So, make sure its clean, period. Alrighty, both sides of each piece of glass."
