Heart-shaped medal for a teacher - heart medals - UV dtf desing - English and spanish


Information
Teachers play a fundamental role in every child's education, especially those who leave a beautiful mark on their lives. My deepest gratitude will always go to those who teach with love, day after day!

Instruction
Step1: Desing



For my medals, I created a custom design featuring the teachers' characteristics with their names in the center; I also included several print-ready templates in the file, available in both English and Spanish.
After resizing my design as desired, I drew a heart using the shape tool and centered the design; then, I added a rectangle to serve as the slot for the medal ribbon.
I duplicated this rectangle twice and set the copies aside for later use.
I positioned the rectangle above the heart, applied a 3-unit offset, merged the outer rectangle with the heart, and removed the empty space created inside the heart.
Using the two reserved rectangles, I created the ribbon loop by aligning the rectangles and adding a larger rectangle.
Finally, I printed my designs using UV DTF.

Step2: Cut


Before cutting, I duplicated the medal design and added all the children's names; I flipped the design horizontally because I would be engraving on the back of the acrylic.
For this project, I used 2mm gold mirror acrylic and silver mirror acrylic.
There are two pieces in total; I engraved them first and then cut them out using my P2S.
Step3: paint and glue



After cutting my two pieces, I proceeded to stick them together; in this case, I used 3M double-sided tape—just three strips were enough.
Align them carefully before sticking them together.
Then, I applied my UV DTF design.
I attached the ribbon and the ribbon holder, and that was it.
To make the engraving more clear you can paint with acrylic paint on the back, remove the excess quickly before
