Got asked to make a bee themed baby shower sign. This was my first big project as a glowforge owner. The honeycombs, vinyl and bee I used to cut out each shape.

Hopefully when you say “vinyl”, you don’t mean real vinyl but a laser safe vinyl alternative instead!
Real vinyl is a big no no on a laser as it forms a corrosive gas that’ll eat your 
It’s a beautiful sign

As always the letter in PVC to be worried about is the C, not the V.
There are many different vinyl formulae. It’s chlorinated vinyl that is the problem.
Lots of adhesive “vinyl” is pvc, but not all. Reasearching the composition is key.

I like the way you used the gold standoffs to match the honeycomb.

What a nice sign! Now you’ll have to change the top when the baby is born with the “Meant To Bee” with the baby’s name, date, and birth info! As @deirdrebeth said though, avoid vinyl. You could just use acrylic and color it. Or, of course, laser-safe vinyl.

Search on the forum for why no vinyl. Quite an eye opener.

That is absolutely adorable! I’m working on decorations for my daughter’s baby shower. I am not good at estimating realistically…I just look at so many things and say, “oh, I can do that!” Time is creeping up on me! LOL!
Your sign is so unique, I have a feeling you’re going to be getting business requests coming your way from your colleagues, friends, family, clients, etc.!
