  • I started importing a cute witch cauldron kettle design that I had, and wanted to give it a fun twist. 
  • I typed the phrase "I Put a Spell on You" and positioned it over the cauldron exactly where I wanted the text to be.
  • Next, I selected both the cauldron design and the text. Using the Subtract at Overlap function, I was able to leave the text visible, creating a cool layered effect where the words pop through the cauldron.

  • After finishing the design, I created an outline that was 3mm offset (no inner outline) to serve as the base of the keychain, which I planned to cut from basswood. 
  • I then added a small circle from the basic shapes, which I’d use to attach the keychain ring.
  • I selected the small circle and base, using the Subtract at Overlap function to ensure the hole for the keychain ring would be cut. I processed the project by engraving the design and cutting the base.
  • Once everything was ready, I attached the keychain ring, and voilà! A fun, spooky Halloween keychain ready to go!
