Information

      I created this bulb ornament as a way to mix a sweater-style ornament and a traditional bulb style together to create something unique. You can paint the elements or keep it uncolored.

I love using the MDF hardboard from Home Depot because it is cost-effective, sturdy, and easy to work with.

Supplies:
-MDF Hardboard from Home Depot
-String, hook, twine to hang the ornament
-Magic eraser, wipe, or damp cloth
-Optional: paint or markers

Instruction

Step1: Load the file

Preview

Load the file and adjust settings as needed. I used the white MDF from Home Depot. I have found it needs more power than traditional MDF. What works for me is 95% power and 6 speed for cutting, while engraving works with a variety of settings.

Step2: Remove from baseplate

Preview

Remove the cut item from the baseplate and wipe the soot with a wipe or damp cloth.

Step3: Optional: Color the elements

Personally, I like both the colored and non-colored look. Depending on the style you choose you can use acrylic markers or sharpies to color the fillable elements any way you like.
