Once you’ve cut out the two pieces, carefully align and fit them together to create your jig. Make sure everything is nice and sturdy, and that the slots hold your glass baubles tightly.
Now it’s time to set things up for cutting! Since your jig is made from two pieces of 3mm plywood, adjust the laser settings to match this material. Don’t forget to double-check the power and speed settings to ensure your cuts are clean and precise.
With your jig all put together, place a glass bauble in the holder to see how it fits. Take a moment to admire your creation—your jig is ready to help you engrave those Christmas baubles! This handy tool will make your engraving process a breeze and add a special touch to your holiday crafting. Enjoy!
