Step 1Take the first wooden letter and towards the upper left corner, use an embossing pen to mark a star shape through a stencil. Quickly sprinkle embossing powder over the shape then heat it using the Dremel Versatip and hot air tip to fuse the powder and emboss your design. Repeat with different star and spiral shapes using the picture as a guide for colour and positioning. Tip: Use a fine paintbrush to carefully remove any stray specks of embossing powder before you heat it.

Step 2On the right of the same letter, run trails of glitter glue across the surface using the Dremel Glue Gun fitted with a glitterstick. As you work, push several flat-backed gems onto the letter, embedding them into the glue before it dries. Carefully peel up trails of glue that extend over the edge of the letter and trim them off so that the edges remain free of decoration. Continue to add extra detail by decorating the embossed shapes with sequins and flat-backed gems.

Step 3Finally, use the Versatip fitted with the wood-burning tip to burn small dots or flower shapes into the surface of the letter, scattering them between the embossed stars, as shown.

Step 4Carry on using these techniques to decorate the surfaces of all the letters of your child’s name.
