I created the design in Illustrator and used a ton of grid lines to measure out the punch spacing (I have no doubt I took the long way around Illustrator but in the end accomplished my goal!)
Engraved and cut out the strap first to ensure the punches were adequate for sewing … hind sight I should have increased the punch a .mil - Strap went well apart from the paper being hard to peel out of those little spaces since tape was pulling up the first layer of the leather.
After cutting the large panel, found the enclosure cuts were too narrow for the strap. Increased the sizing and successfully lined the new opening up over the panel and cut the opening larger.
That turned out nicely, my daughters are going to be jealous even though they have no cards to put into one. I’m sure they’ll be asking me to make one for them
This is one of my favorite things people overlook about printing with Glowforge - you can stack operations. I made my daughter an earring and forgot the hole… well, draw a circle, print again, there’s your hole!
This. With my granddaughters…
Plan on taking line art of the “Frozen” princesses - scan and replace with wood - engrave.
Scan another line art of of jigsaw shape - replace engraved wood, drop jigsaw on top and cut.
Dirt simple puzzle to take home!
