How to make pencil holder valentines on the glowforge

​I first made these a few years ago out of paper and thought they would look great in wood!  Here are a few easy steps to create your own!  I will add a list of the supplies I used at the end of the post!

Load design

I've included a few versions for this file.  I have a version with a rounded edge and also each one has a file that can be engraved if you don't want to use htv or vinyl.

Cut Design

Paint or stain pieces

I wanted to match the colors on the pencils as closely as I could.  

I used Ultra Dye for the red and pink because I love the colors!  

For the white I used chalk paint.  Chalk paint seems to have better coverage and these only needed one coat.

You could also leave the wood natural.

Cut Vinyl Pieces - Skip this step if you engraved the arrows

I used my cameo 4 to cut htv for my pieces. 

I like to use htv for small text because it is so much easier to weed and seems to last longer! 

​You can use any vinyl and cutting machine.

Add vinyl to arrows - Skip this step if you engraved the arrows

Picture
I used my cricut mini press set on medium for 3-5 second on each one.

You can use sticky backed vinyl for this step as well if you would like.

Add pencils to finish valentines

Slide the pencils into the holders and the valentines are all done!
