My favorite thing to do on the Glowforge is to create custom meaningful gifts for the people in my life. I made this gift set for a good friend’s birthday:
The luggage tag was made with leather sewn to proofgrade maple hardwood
I made the keychain out of leather, acrylic and 2 layers of maple ply
My friend is studying to become a teacher for blind kids, so I made a bracelet with proofgrade thick cherry plywood and engraved it down so that the “Julia” in braille remained and is readable with the fingertips. The wood is sewn to the leather, and rivets were used to help the folded leather hold its curve
And, because you can when you have a laser, I made the perfect package to put it all in!
How could she not love all of it?! This is fantastic. It looks like you used some nice cardboard for the custom packaging? I like how that all fits in there. The wood sewn to the leather is a nice touch as well!
This is excellent. Great design and craftsmanship. I usually stuff gifts to friends and family into an old soup can or crushed cereal box. This gives me some ideas that I’m sure will improve their reaction.
