Pet Mom Keychains

Start with an image of a paw print.  I cut mine out but you could also engrave it or cut one out and engrave another or engrave a couple for a cute set.

Add a circle around your pawprint for your desired size.  I went with around 37mm.

Add another circle for the key ring to go through.  Mine is 3mm.

I made these with “Cat Mom” and “Dog Mom” but you could also put a pet or pets' names here to customize them.

I used a grandstander bold font.

To curve the text to match your circle's curve, select the text box and grab the little icon that looks like a book.  Pull it up to start curving the text until you like the shape.  If the shape changes to quickly in that small space remember that you can pull the cursor further away from the object for a finer level of control.

I used the default cut settings but increased the engrave setting to 100 power and 2 passes.  You may want to try it a couple different ways to see what works best for you.

Set your material in the machine (use the black riser since you'll be cutting so that smoke has somewhere to go).  Align the laser dots, refresh the camera, and align your design to the image.

Start your engrave and cut.

These are going to be handled a lot so you will want to seal the wood with some clear poly or spray paint to keep them from getting dirty.

Remember to seal both sides.

After they are dry add your keyrings and any embellishments you would like such as some cute tassels, etc.

Enjoy!
