Porta llaveros castillo de Mario

The most laborious thing of all is the design, as you have to create it from scratch. First of all, 

create a rectangle of about 200 x 140 mm approximately. To make the shapes above, I inserted more rectangles of the desired size and placed them on top. Then I hit combine - subtract and I was left with the shapes of the castle. Then I generated two inner contours, one at -2 mm and one at -4 mm. I selected both outlines and hit merge - subtract, then record. I selected the original part and hit it to cut. Make a copy of this part. 

Now let's go with the back part (using the copy we just made), in which we're going to put a tower and a flag. To make the tower we repeat the same steps we have done before but with a smaller size. We place it in the center and generate the interior contours to mark them later. We select both parts and click on combine - join. Now we will make a flag by inserting basic rectangle, circle and triangle shapes; We adapt its size, place it so that it has the shape of a flag and once we have it with the desired shape, we give it to combine - join. We make its inner outline to engrave it as well. 

Now let's go with the characters of Mario and the princess, I have downloaded the images from Vecteezy https://es.vecteezy.com/vectores-gratis/mario-bros

We insert the images, edit them making them transparent and then trace them. When we have it, we make an outer outline and select to cut. We selected the interior drawing to engrave. Now we have to add an oval shape to the cutting part so that we can then place the keychain. We make it the desired size, place it centered and click on combine - join. Then we add a circle, about 4 mm, to cut and then be able to insert the keychain. 

Now we make a copy of the outlines of the characters and place them on the front castle, when we have them in position, we select all the shapes and click on combine - subtract, so we will make the shape of the characters in the castle (only in the front part). 

Finally, I added some brick decorations, also with rectangles and their inner outline, combine - subtract and hit engrave. 

Now it's time to put our xtool to work. Turn on the machine, put in the material you are going to use and we will process the project. 

The machine will first engrave the outlines, bricks and drawings of Mario and the princess and then cut all the pieces. 

Once we have all the pieces, we are going to glue it behind the front castle and we are going to glue it on the back castle. You can use some clothespins to keep everything together and stick better. 

Then I gave a matte varnish spray to all the parts as I like to finish my projects like this, but this is optional. 

To finish I put some keyring rings on Mario and the princess and on the back I used some adhesive tapes from the brand Command (which I bought at Leroy Merlin) to put a picture without using nails or drills. 

We have the castle ready to give a unique touch to our hallway. 

I hope my brother-in-law likes it.
