The first step was making the flip-flop. For this, I used Xtool AI, then I used the edit node function to remove all the parts that I did not like. Finally, I made an outline of the flip-flops.

Now, I added the text and the font that I wanted. Then, I used the outline around the text and finally combined the outlines. I also added a hole at the top to hang up the sign.

For this, I used basswood, but you can use any material you want.

Now it's laser time! This is a long cut because of all the engraving. If you use a different material or laser power, your time will vary. You will also need to adjust your settings for your laser power and material. Don't forget your laser safety glasses.
