Instruction
Hey there! Get into the holiday spirit with this fun and festive tutorial! 🎄✨ In today’s video, I’ll show you how to make Christmas earrings using the precision of the xTool M1 laser cutter.

Let’s kick things off by uploading your special Christmas ornament design into the xTool software!

Now it’s time to set up your xTool M1! Make sure you adjust the settings for your material, like 3mm plywood. In the software, you’ll want to create two layers: one for engraving your beautiful designs and another for cutting out the ornament shape. Take a moment to double-check your power and speed settings to ensure your cuts and engravings turn out just right.
Once you've cut and engraved your earrings, it's time to let your creativity shine! Grab your favorite colors and start painting—just be sure to let each layer dry completely before moving on. Acrylic paint works great for bright, vibrant looks, and applying two coats will give you a nice, smooth finish. For that extra magical touch, sprinkle a little glitter on the last layer of wet paint to make your earrings sparkle! After you’re done painting, finish them off with a thin layer of epoxy resin for a glossy, professional look. Just a friendly reminder to follow the epoxy safety instructions—wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated area for your safety. Have fun crafting!
Now, take a moment to admire your beautiful completed Christmas earrings! Highlight the intricate designs, vibrant holiday colors, and that lovely glossy epoxy finish. These festive and stylish earrings are perfect for adding a touch of holiday cheer to your outfit and are sure to grab attention wherever you go! 🎄✨ Enjoy showing them off!
