Step 1 : Choose your background Paper

Any paper will work.  I chose a plaid pack because I love plaid!

Step 2 : Load Paper into the Glowforge

If you don't have a special mat for cutting paper magnets work great!

Step 3 : Cut all pieces for the Background

Here are my Settings
Speed 500
Power 30
​Depth .003

Step 4 : Add Adhesive to Paper Pieces

I use a Xyron Creative Staiton that makes projects like this so much easier!  You can use glue as well if you don't have a sticker maker.

Step 5 : Mask your wood piece

I always mask with paper tape.  A brayer, rotary cutter and mat help this step go quickly and smoothly without the tape lifting during cutting.

Step 6 : Cut Pieces

For .125" wood I use settings 
Speed 200
Power Full
​Depth .125

Step 7 : Add Background paper to each base.

If you don't have a sticker maker glue will work just as well for this step.

Step 8 : Glue Front Piece onto Base

I like to use Gorilla Super Glue but any glue that you like to use will work for this step.

Step 9 : Glue Center Pieces

I like to lay my pieces out before I glue so I know what placement works best for my project.

Step 10 : Complete Ornament with beads and cord.

I really liked the wooden beads on the ornament string but they are completely optional.  I used hemp cord for the rustic look.
