Laser Cut Wooden Whale Stud Earrings

My settings are for 10W M1 machine, please adjust. Engrave and cut the design.

Use acrylic markers to paint the details. I used dark blue and light blue only (posca fine-tip markers, water based). Wait until they are completely dried.

Use a strong glue (I like Pentart's Super Glue), to add the studs. Make sure that you are using a transparent one, so you don't have to care about adding a bit more. 

Wait until it dries.

Use glossy varnish on the whole earrings - front, back and sides as well. You can add 2 layers to make it extra secure and water resistant. (You can add it to the stud part too, so it will harden the gluing too.

Wait until it dried everywhere, then you can add the back of the stud.
