Information
      Happy Mother's day to the best mother I (or you) know. This is a wooden ornament with a Mother's day message in the shape of a heart and with flower details.
    
Instruction
1
Step1: File Setup
Preview

Review layers and confirm everything looks good.

If you want to customize or change the message:

  • copy everything, layer in the correct order, and change to engrave (This will allow you to see the position of the message)
  • Adjust wording of engraved message
  • Delete the top layers, besides the text and bottom “whole” layer
  • Copy these two layers to replace the original. Make sure the layers are returned to cut for the “whole” layer and engrave for the message.

Step2: Cutting

Cut out all layers. Do be aware that layer 3 (the flowers) is very thin and likely to break some. I like the delicateness and personality this provides, but if you do not then you can either size every layer up to make the thinnest parts thicker or choose a different project.

Step3: Glue

Use wood glue to glue layer 2 on top of layer 1. Use clamps or a heavy book while it sets.

Then layer 3 on top of that. If it broke some, use the pictures above to place the petals and leaves. Again, this section is delicate, so do this carefully. Use clamps or a book to set.

Finally, though not necessarily, add the “frame" layer 4 to the top. Glue and clamp/weigh down.

 

Congrats!
