I’ve been putting my GF through a workout these past couple of weeks making gifts for family and friends. I really love my GF! It just makes me giddy-happy that I can make customized gifts so easily with this machine!
First off, a few simple ornaments. This one is for my son, who requested a present shaped ornament. Nothing too fancy but he loved it.
And just because I could, I made one with a Yoda snowflake to give to one of our friends. I was truely impressed with my GF after it cut that delicate snowflake out. The cuts in the faces were so tiny, I thought it would break but it didn’t.
Now on to the fun stuff! Like so many on here, I’ve been experimenting with the LED lit acrylic panels. I really like those and decided to make something special for my best friend. She’s a huge fan of the Disney villains and after much thought, I came up with this. A magic mirror.
Please excuse the bad photos. I really need to make a light box. LOL!
I am sooo happy with how this turned out. At first, I wasn’t sure I could pull it off but it works beautifully. The face is 3D etched into clear acrylic. Its the first time I have ever tried the 3d etching and it turned out so unbelievable awesome!!! The photo really doesn’t do it justice.
I also like the acrylic/wood ornament pairings. I have been trying to pick an ornament to make for everyone this year and am constantly changing my mind…
I love all the projects you’ve shared. The mirror light is fantastic. Thanks so much for revealing your secret (Privacy Mirror Adhesive)!! What a great idea!
