Romantic couples photo frames (with year)
Instruction
Ever forgot the year you first went on vacation, had the most exciting hike or even had been engaged?
Create your very own history by highlighting a single picture as the "main picture of the year"!
Open the “.xcs” file in xTool Creative Space. There are three workspace you can select from
- 2025
- 2024
- 2026
They are all set for pictures with dimensions `10x13 cm`.
Alternatively there is a “.svg” file available for all individual years as well, which also allows for other adjustments on the alignment as all elements are available separately on different layers.
Upon import you might need to rescale the layers so they should have a size of `15cm` in width.
Select the correct workspace and adjust your cutting settings based on the material used.
For my 20W M1 Ultra in combination with 4mm poplar plywood, I used a power setting of 85 and a speed of 5 for cutting.
Material
- 4mm Poplar plywood [Hornbach.de, Amazon.de*]
Place the picture inside the frame - the laser engraved part is to have the picture perfectly fit between the sheets.
Glue the two pieces together and let it dry over night. Afterwards you can hang it on the wall - hopefully next to some more - to get a glance over the year in one go.
Enjoy! :)
Material
- Wood glue [Hornbach.de, Amazon.de*]
