Information
      There are lots of these snowglobe ornaments available on sites like Etsy, and it seemed beneficial to be able to make my own. This was developed specifically in the XTOOL Creative Space, and was done using an XTOOL P2 cutter.

These are the settings for the detail work on the characters.

NOTE - You may choose to cover the entire project in a contact paper or laser tape. If you do, add roughly 50% to the power setting

This just needs the outline of the snowglobe, and you will make two of them. Then you kind of sandwich the acrylic in a triple-decker-sandwich.

 

Front - acrylic - middle (with the loop on top) - acrylic - back

Characters will need to go on top of the bottom acrylic piece

Glue your pieces together with a strong, clear glue that can work for wood AND acrylic (or plastic if you choose that instead)

 

Then you're done!
