Kindness Coins
Instruction
Information
Teachers sometimes give out prizes for doing kind things without being asked. This is a way that students can accumulate points for prizes.
Instruction
Step1: Create your coin shape
I chose a circle, but you can do any shape.
Step2: Add your saying
I used “Kindness Coin” and the points.
Step3: Place your saying in your coin
Place your words into your coin. I chose to use the curve text option to make mine look nicer.
Step4: Create layers and settings
Group your words and place them on their own layer. Then assign them to engrave and set your power and speed.
Then make your coin outline a cut and set your power and speed.
Step5: Copy and paste as many as you would like
I copy and pasted a single column, then I grouped that column and copy pasted it to make more.
I also chose to add the teacher's name to the other side of the coin.
Step6: Place material on machine
Place your material on your machine and secure.
Step7: Align your project to your material.
Align your project to your material. Then process first side. I chose the teacher's name side first so that the cut would be last and on the other side.
Step8: Remove material from machine and clean soot
I used a compressor to blow off the soot.
Step9: Replace material and realign
Place material back on machine with clean side up. Realign your material. I use small cutout holes for my alignment.
Step10: Remove final product from machine
Remove the final product from the machine and clean any soot.
Step11: Bag your coins for delivery
As you can see, the teacher I made these for wanted different coin denominations.
