Step 1) This project starts with an oval from the shapes list, it is then copied a couple time to lengthen the shape. this is all done by over lapping the shape and using the combine and unite feature creates a longer oval.

Step 2) The second item this project needs is to bring in a new shape from the list this time a half circle or half donut shape. Along with this shape 2 narrow rectangles are needed and they are easily made with the insert button. They are then positioned just dslightly over lapping the ends of the half donut and again united to become longer.

Step 3) The last item needed for this project is the shape the leather patch will be, in this case a simple small circle was create and place on the top of the book marker for sizing, This circle will be cut from leather. To add some personal feel, especially some one that loves cats is in fact a small image of a cat that will be engraved right on the leather circle.

Step 4) In the step all the settings were adjusted and the file was sent to the laser, once the laser was finished the leather patch was glued on the book marker for that extra appeal.
