Information
My kids love drawing. They are little artists. I am always trying to figure out ways to turn their artworks into keepsakes that I can treasure forever. My 4 year old son drew a cute little flower with a heart (his love for me) and wrote my name in a circle the other day. I immediately thought that it would be a beautiful pendant for a necklace.
Using my xTool machine (the xTool P2 in this case), I was able to turn his artwork into a pendant. I always feel empowered when I am able to turn my kids artworks and ideas into physical keepsakes or toys using my laser. I love seeing their faces and smiles when they see their drawings turned into a physical product.

Step1: Laser Cut Out
Preview
- Place the plywood on the slats in the machine.
- Open the file and place the design on the wood using the cameras.
- Set the black cut lines to 40 Power and 15 Speed for Cut. I only need 1 Pass at this setting.
- Measure the distance. I got 3.15 mm as my distance for 3mm plywood sheet on top of the slats.
- Click the green Process button on the top right of the screen.
- A preview will be shown. Click the green Start button (top right) to send it to the machine.
- Press the button on the P2 machine to start.

Step2: Paint
Preview
- Grab some metallic silver acrylic paint and a make-up sponge.

- Allow to dry.

Step3: UV Resin
Preview
- Apply UV resin on the top layer and cure for 4 minutes.

I had a sterling silver necklace available and added the pendant to that.
One day I hope I am fortunate enough to own the F2 Ultra, so that I can remake this project in a metal material instead of painted wood.
