Laser Cut Wooden Leaf Design Earrings with painted details
The Creator Spark Challenge
Instruction
Information
Use your plywood scraps, and create these tiny earrings.
Instruction
Step1: Engrave and cut
Use my settings (for 10W M1 machine with riser base and smoke exhaust), or adjust it, and engrave/cut the design. You can play with the size - and make e.g. fridge magnets instead of stud earrings).
Step2: Sanding
I am cleaning up my materials after engraving with a fine grip sandpaper. As you can see on the picture, it became lighter, and the painting on it will be much smoother.
Sand both front and back, and the sides as well.
Step3: Paint
Use fine-grip pen (I am using POSCA acrylic markers) to paint the details. For these pieces, I used white, green and gold - think it turned out great. You can use different colors (share your version at the comments please, I would love to see your version!)
Step4: Add studs
Use a strong glue (I recommend to use something which is dries clear), and add the earrings studs to the back. Wait until it's completely dried.
Step5: Add coating
You can add resin or varnish to secure your piece. Make sure you add it to the front and the back and the sides too. I like to add extra layer to the back to make sure that the stud will stay in place forever!
Step6: Ready to use
Add the back part of the earring settings, and you are done.
Share your version, if you made it :)
