Information
      This time I designed a wooden frame so I could have some photos on my desk or around the house for these festivities. I added some illustrations I made and made two options either painting the message as an extra layer or a simpler one just with engraving. 

You can place the frame in several spaces around the home, adding warmth to the holidays. It is as easy as downloading and using the file with xTool Creative Space and following the steps to put it all together.  

I used a D1 xTool laser machine with Basswood sheets, acrylic paint markers, and glue to join the pieces. If you have a different and more powerful machine, you can easily change the materials and settings and get a different outcome. 

***Time may change depending on the materials or if you use paint.***

Using glue, assemble the large pieces starting from the back of the frame, then attach the middle layer to the back layer, and once dry do the same with the front layer.
