Information
      I decided to design some wavy round earrings and added a preety bead to them to give a bit more colour.

Step1: Setting up Design

I started by using a circle  from the shapes panel and copy and pasted, the decided to enlarge 2 of the circles and re-sized them, put one inside the other and combine.

I then grabbed the other circles and placed them inside, lined them up to how I wanted and then got rid of the larger circles.

I then outlined the smaller circles to get the wavy style that I was looking for.

I continued to copy, paste and resize the earring part I wanted to cut along with adding in the oval and circle for cutting holes.  Once all the cutting sections were together I combined them together.

I wanted to add the same wavey circles for engraving as well so had done the same as the previous step but changed the setting to engrave.

Once I had placed everything where I wanted I started to set up the settings for the cutting and engraving and changed the xTool settings to suit the 2mm plywood.

After that I sent the earrings off for framing and cutting.

Step3: Painting and putting together

After the earring were finished engraving and cutting, I proceeded to paint them.

At first I painted them a turquoise colour but felt they looked a bit too washed out and then decided to use my acrylic paints instead and that took away from the beads being used.  I decided to make another pair and just paint them the red brown colour, they look so much better.

 

I added a photo of the turquoise colour for you to see for yourself as to why I changed my mind.

I hope you enjoy making these earrings!
