Information
      I made five banners, one for each weekday for the month to hang up to the front door. Each month I will make another 5 using a different theme. It is something to make my wife smile before she heads back to school. So, if you like the banner hit the follow button to see the upcoming banners.

Step1: Set Up
Preview

First off do a material test for each color of felt you are going to use. The different colors will affect the settings to cut through the felt. This frog you will use two different color felts to make. I went with orange and blue. You will be cutting each layer out one at a time so make sure you disable the output and show buttons, so it doesn't interfere with cutting out the layer you desire.

Step2: Cutting Felt

Once you have the settings correct, go ahead and lay out your felt. If you have material pins go ahead and use them to hold down the felt. Frame your project to make sure the laser won't bump into the pins. Now cut the layer out, once it is cut you might need to use scissors to separate the cut out from the sheet due to little strands of material still sticking together. 

When you have cut out one layer switch the buttons in lightburn so you disable this layer and enable the other layer and repeat the step with the different color felt.

 

If you need pins these are useful ( xTool Honeycomb Material Pin )

Step3: Assembling Layers

Now that you have both layers cut out, it is time to assemble it together so do a dry fit to make sure you confrontable in where the pieces go. I noticed when putting them together the felt liked to stick or intertwine with each other. I used my finger to hold the layers together whole using a thin long screwdriver to slide under each layer and separate them to maneuver the pieces into place.

When you are pleased with the location of each piece it is time to glue them together. Using one hand to hold the layers in place I lifted part of the top layer so I could put a tiny dab of fabric glue in between the two layer. Press them together and repeat on the side where you were just holding it together. Let it dry.

Step4: Making The Banner
Preview

Using a pair of scissors cut out the size of felt you would like for your banner. The frog should be dry so place it on the banner and figure out the best location to glue it. se the same process as you did when gluing the frog layers together. At this point you have a banner that you can hang up if you would like. We personalized the banner by painting on it. You could paint anything you like on the banner to make it personal for you. 

Depending on how and where you would like to hang this banner up, you could just glue twine at each top corner of the banner and hang it from a nail. Because we will be hanging it on our metal door, we are going to use two or three magnet clips to display it.
