Seasonal Plant Stick

Step 1) From an open session of XCS Xtool Creative Suite with the insert option a circle was selected, this was shaped to somewhat of an oval shape. A second circle was inserted for the ears, this time a bit smaller and angled slightly to the left.

Step 2) Once the angle for the ears was decided, I copy and pasted a second one and used the reflect horizontal from the reflect options. This made the second ear angle the opposite way to complete the ears for the little bunny.

Step 3) Now that the ears are positioned in the right spots I used the combine feature to make the 3 ovals all one piece, after this was complete it was on to outline feature to give it a border.

Step 4) Now that the bunny head was finished with a border, I then moved the inner part to the side so I could add a long stick to the entire piece. I did this by inserting a longer narrow rectangle from the insert button. Once this was in the work area I carefully placed it just slightly over lapping the head of the bunny. once this task was done I could then use the combine feature again and make the 2 pieces all one piece like earlier. So after this was done it ended up looking like a bunny head on a stick.

Step 5) Now that that was all done the bunny needed a face, so I imported a face from another file already made. once this was in the work area I positioned it to my liking in the face of the bunny area.

I then proceeded to add yet another part to this little bunny by way of a jagged sign that can be part of the stick. This was done with the Vector feature found on the left side of the tool list. This neat feature works by clicking on the work area and moving to a desired position and clicking again to make a line once this was repeated several times you end up with the desired shape you want. ( this takes some getting used to so practice trying to make shapes).

Step 6) Once again moving the inner part of the bunny's face and border I placed the new odd shaped sign across the long stick. It was then added to the stick with the combine feature and selecting unite. Then a simple text was added by the text button and edited to fit the newly added sign. This text can be whatever you decide. I set this text to engrave at a power of 75 power and 80 speed with 1 pass.

Step 7) Now that everything was set up with all the settings for cutting ( power 100% Speed 5mm/s and 3 passes) scoring (@ 45% power 30mm/s Speed and 1 pass) and finally engraving set to (75% power 80mm/s speed and 1 pass) it was on to framing the small piece of plywood in the D1 10w pro. Here it is once the laser did it's thing ready for any kind of potted plant around the house. Enjoy!
