Summer Sea Deco
Instruction
Information
another little summer maritime theme
lots of small details to work out
these are always the most fun besides the work in XCS
Instruction
Step1: Assembling XCS
i deliberately work here in engrave mode because it is clearer for me for the compilation
here i have created a star shape in affinity and loaded it into XCS with 2 seagulls and a boat
everything was put together
here i used the colors as an aid to see which layers should be which later on
as soon as everything fits, select all planes of the same color and choose unite
Step2: Text
then I inserted a text and tilted it slightly
two stars on the side
I subtracted the text and the stars from the layer with substract
Important: please do not throw away the cutout from the stars
Finally, change everything to cut and check again
i cut the smaller area to 1mm wood
Step3: painting & glue
lay out all the parts
paint the front view including the stars white
the back view in brown
the inner edge does not need to be painted here (save color :) )
then glue all parts together
Step4: beads
one string and 5 beads
i painted the beads with the same color as the background
i used a schlaschik skewer to help me :)
Pull the string through the star
then thread the beads on both ends
make a knot at the end
