Supplies for this ProjectIf you don't have a glowforge yet here is a link to save you $500 off of a Pro, $250 off of a Plus and $100 off of a Basic. Rustic Ornament Laser File - Here Rotary Cutter and Mat Set - https://amzn.to/313EEVQ Masking Material - https://amzn.to/2OA1QbG Plywood Sheets - https://amzn.to/3152wbM Xyron Creative Station - https://amzn.to/33heUXF Glue - https://amzn.to/2MyV9V0 Clamps - https://amzn.to/323XePa Wooden Beads - Hobby Lobby Paper Pack - The Paper Studio Hobby Lobby Cord - Hemp Cord Step 1 : Choose your background PaperAny paper will work. I chose a plaid pack because I love plaid! Step 2 : Load Paper into the GlowforgeIf you don't have a special mat for cutting paper magnets work great! Step 3 : Cut all pieces for the BackgroundHere are my Settings Speed 500 Power 30 Depth .003 Step 4 : Add Adhesive to Paper PiecesI 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 pieceI 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 PiecesFor .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 BaseI like to use Gorilla Super Glue but any glue that you like to use will work for this step. Step 9 : Glue Center PiecesI 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.
