Instruction
Step1
Step 1: Material Preparation
Select a piece of high-quality plywood with a minimum thickness of 3mm. For optimal results, we recommend using 3-5mm thick wood, as this provides the perfect balance between durability and clean cutting edges. Place the material flat on your xTool work bed and ensure it's properly secured to prevent any movement during the laser process.
Step2
Step 2: Engraving Process
Begin by engraving the decorative details on both the Christmas tree and the hanging lantern ornament. This step should be completed first to ensure crisp, clean engravings before any cutting occurs. The laser will mark all the star cutouts and intricate patterns on the tree surface, creating beautiful depth and visual interest in your final piece.
Step3
Step 3: Cutting the Main Elements
Once the engraving is complete, proceed to cut out the Christmas tree shape and the decorative lantern ornament. The laser will precisely follow the contour lines, creating smooth edges and clean star cutouts. This step transforms your flat design into individual components ready for assembly.
Step4
Step 4: Cutting the Base Layers
Cut the multiple base layers that will provide stability to your Christmas tree decoration. These foundation pieces are essential for keeping your tree standing upright and adding an elegant layered effect that enhances the overall aesthetic of the project.
Step5
Step 5: Finishing and Assembly
If desired, apply paint, stain, or varnish to enhance the wood's natural beauty and protect the surface. Once any finishing products have dried completely, carefully assemble all components. Glue the base layers together, attach the tree to the base, and hang the decorative lantern from the tree's hook. Take your time during assembly to ensure everything is perfectly aligned for a professional-looking final result.
