Step1: Setting up
Preview

Ensure all your other layers are on ‘ignore’  place the blue layer over your material using the camera setting.

 

This will cut and engrave the back of the acrylic so that when you take it out the laser you will flip the board so that the lavender is on the left hand side. Once cut, wipe over.  

 

The board is set so that small holes are cut in each corner so that stand offs can be used. If you would rather use ribbon or magnets ungroup the blue and adjust the circles accordingly. Stand offs are easily available online.

 

NOTE. If you want to change the size of the board them make sure you place all the components together and then resize so that they still layer on top of each other perfectly.
