Just come up with a very draft idea for Halloween decorations by using powerful GF and avoid having too much repeated labour work.

If anyone needs some cool fake blood, you can try a concoction I put together. Add red food coloring to sodium silicate (waterglass) and dab with a small amount of isopropyl rubbing alcohol to set up. It looks like blood setting up and when fully dry, it looks like dark dry blood flaking off. Take care if applying to skin as it is very dehydrating and the flaking clots represent a respiratory risk.

Wow! That is amazing art. I so want a Glowforge now just for the ability to do custom tchotchkes at the holidays.

I keep thinking of ( not just for Halloween) of using the laser on craft sticks ( Popsicle sticks - tounge depressors or whatever name you use). What you do is line them up in a row (flat) so they make about a square, then just engrave a vector image on them ( for Halloween a witch, mummy,ghost, etc.) then flip them all over and engrave another image. When done pull out all the sticks ( I’d assume about six to ten of them?) and you have a neat 2-sided puzzle as you try and arrange them in order/side. May even be difficult for older kids if 2-sided!. What do you think? Kids could even color the artwork with markers before or after.

That’s a great idea. Simple & easy to do but very unique.

To make it really tough, make a jig so you can put them on edge, so the pictures are on the edges instead of the faces!

If you really want to keep 'em occupied for a while, engrave different patterns on each side as described then remove one stick from the middle.

Not a bad idea for the backside of your porch pumpkin.

In case you didn’t know you should display a Teal pumpkin or a poster from here [https://www.foodallergy.org/teal-pumpkin-project] so the kids with allergies know to visit your house!
