Laser Cut Wooden Decorative Envelope-Shaped Box with Christmas Engraving Living Hinge
2025 Christmas Contest
Instruction
Information
A beautiful wooden envelope, lovingly designed and engraved with a festive Christmas motif. Perfect for 9x13 photos, gift cards, small notes, or keepsakes – and at the same time a beautiful decorative piece that no one will throw away.
Instruction
Step1
Open the file in xTool Studio and hid the process button.
Step2
This is what you should see after processing.
Step3
Now carefully flip the part with the living hinge vertically. I used some duct tape for that.
Step4
Now select the rectangle that was marked as ignored to output and set everything else to ignore. Click Process again.
Step5
You should end up with these parts.
Step6
Do not use too much glue for this part. Both parts need to be straight on top of each other.
Step7
Glue the bell on the living hinge part. If you made a mess with the glue, like I did, clean it up. I use wet wipes for situations like that.
Step8
Now glue the corpus together. Again, clean up any glue mass.
Step9
Glue the living hinge part to the corpus, and again, clean up any glue mass.
Step10
Do not use too much glue for this part. Everything needs to be straight. Otherwise, the envelope will not open and close correctly.
Step11
You are done. Be proud of yourself!
