Laser Cut, layered Yeti/abominable snowman Decoration
Information
used AI make to create this adorable Abominable Snowman. I live traced him and ended up creating 5 layers. This piece can be used as wall art, a stand-up figure, or a tree ornament. I recommend keeping it 5-6 inches or larger because of the detailed cuts. Also, the top layer is not pictured in the final result, I decided to forgo it but used the eyes from it. This is an easy template except for the eyes as you have to use pieces from each cut for the eyes. Keep everything at the bottom of your honeycomb until you have this complete.
The prompt I used was: create a vector cartoon graphic of the abominable snowman that was Pixar Inspired but not the same.
The image was AI generated.

Instruction
Step1: Download the file and open in XCS
This file is an svg and can be opened in xcs.
Please remember to like this template!
Step2: Input settings
If you are using xcs the file setting should be imported. if not, I. used 96 power and 5 speed. Make sure you select “cut” from the laser processing menu.
Step3: Carefully remove all cut pieces
This project has some small details that may fall through your honeycomb. Make sure you collect everything.
Step4: Clean any burn marks
The white MDF hardboard from Home Depot is so cost effective and works great, but it does create a soot you need to wipe clean with a wet one, magic eraser, or water and towel.
Step5: Paint your layers
While you can decide on any color combo you like, here is what I did:
Bottom layer: white
Second from the bottom layer: medium blue
Third from the bottom: light blue
Top layer: white
Teeth: you can either not use the small teeth and let the white from the background show through or slip them in the slot. As pictured, the teeth are in the slot.
The tongue fits right into the black mouth.
The eyes are the trickiest and they may brake into two outer shapes if you sized the piece too small. No worries, you can just glue them at the end.
Step6: Glue together
Glue the pieces in the correct order listed above:
White silhouette layer is the bottom
Medium blue layer is the second from the bottom
Light blue is the third layer from the bottom
White detailed layer is the second from the top
Black or dark blue outline is the top layer (I did not use this as a layer but use the pieces cut out for the eyes.
I reccomend using a book or clamps to hold the pieces together after gluing.
