Essentials - Biro Etching
EasyWe’ve discovered a great use for all those dud biros you find knocking around the bottom of your drawer… They make the perfect etching tool!
Choose the area you would like to etch into, making sure the surface is super smooth – do this by using your yellow sandpaper. Then simply mark on your letters or drawing in sharpie, then follow with your biro, gently pressing into the surface.
You can go over the detail by applying slightly more pressure for more defined detail.
