Information
      I was in need for a little surprise so I did know the person likes butterflies so why not create something cute to gift.
    
Instruction

Step1: Create design in XCS 2.0
Preview
  • For the butterfly I used the Shape from the Gallery.
  • Cut it in half and placed the stems or how you call it nearer to combine it to the wing shape
  • Creat small rectangles and use the height for the thickness of my used material
  • Subtract the rectangles from the wing
  • Duplicate Wing and mirror

For the Money ring I used Adobe Illustrator but here's how you can achieve a similar look inside XCS:

  1. Draw the 2 circles in desired size and make one smaller 
  2. Substract the smaller one from the other
  3. Place your Text by pressing 'T'
  4. Select the Text an drag the curved Icon to bend the text to a circle
  5. Repeat for the bottom half

Step2: Engraving & Cutting

As alwas make sure to make a test cut before doing a complete project.

In addition to the plywood I used some glue to make this little one sturdier.

  1. Take the first wing and make glue into the slot
  2. Take a first ring and insert it into the slot
  3. Repeat for all other slots

For me it was best to wait until the first one was dry and then continued with the rest.

 

I hope you like this Idea, after assebly you can place the money inside the ring or write a cute message to your person.
