Information

      I have a lot of house plants and often times guests will ask what they are. I wanted to make little stakes that said their common name and then their scientific name. My son also likes to learn the different names. It’s a cute addition to the decor of the house.

Instruction

Step1: Upload file into XCS and cut out file

Preview

Upload the file into XCS. The outline of the plant stake will be cut and the letters will be engraved. You can edit the words to the plants you have. A Google search will give you the scientific name. I use and app called PictureThis that identifies my plants.

Step2: Cut out and engrave the file.

You can play with the settings and get a darker engraving if you’d like.
