Time from start to finish is approximately 3 hours

Step 1: Creating a Recycled Water Glass

We will use a recycled water glass from a wine bottle. To learn how to create this glass, check my other instructable here: "Create a Glass Out of a Wine Bottle" or watch the video here: Recycled Drinking Glass from a Wine Bottle

Step 2: Preparing the Glass for Etching

Align and tape the Print Art on the inside of the Glass on the desired position. Once the art is ready you can start the etching process with the Dremel. WARNING: Before start the engrave process with the Dremel, wear a safety goggle and dust mask the whole process.

Step 3: Trace the Darth Vader Contour

Using the finest Dremel Bit 7134, trace the contour of Darth Vader Art... Do it slowly with a lot of patient... Remember that a mistake cannot be rollback.

Step 4: Filling the Spaces

Using the Dremel medium ball point bit 7103, fill up the spaces that need to be frosted... Do it very slowly, an incorrect trace will destroy the whole project!

Step 5: Filling the Final Big Spaces

Almost Done... Using the Dremel Ball Ball Point 7105, fill out the remaining spaces.
