COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS DAY 17 GIFT FOR HIM:
Over the summer The Hubs told me that the next time I was buying him a gift, he wanted a Dremel Rotary Tool.
“A what?” I asked.
The Hubs rolled his eyes at me. “And you call yourself a DIY queen?” he said.
I confess. I was unaware of the magic that is a Dremel Rotary tool. I’m so glad that my husband filled me in. This is one tool that no tool box is complete without.
What can you do with a Dremel Rotary Tool?
-Sand -Engrave -Carve -Grind -Cut
-Drill -Sharpen -Clean and Polish
I’ll be honest… even knowing that the Dremel can do all of these things I still had a hard time picturing the projects that I could make with the Dremel rotary tool. Then I started watching the how to videos. I thought that I would share a few of my favorites with you.

*A big thank you to Dremel for sending a Dremel rotary tool for The Hubs and I to test out. All thoughts and opinions on this blog are 100% my own. I approached Dremel to take part in my Holiday Gift Guide because a Dremel is a gift that I would love to give (and receive).
