Instruction

Step1: Decide On Wording and Size

Preview

A few options I liked are:

Clean / Dirty

Wash / Put Away

Dishwasher Cleaned It / Dog Licked It

I also like picking different fonts for both which makes it faster to see which is up. I went with Wash and Put Away and made Wash a scripty font.

My wood pieces are about 37mm so I designed to fit that. A circle set to ignore helps to decide how to lay it out.

Step2: Merge Words and Add Separator

Preview

Merge the words. It won't matter as much on blocky letters but for a script font it helps to not burn some spots extra.

I also added a rectangle in between for the center and you can round the corners a little to make it less blocky.

Step3: Engrave It and Add Magnet

Preview

I used the “Wood Coaster” default settings and it worked perfectly. The magnet is super glued to the back. After it dries you are ready to go! It turned out awesome.
