Just thought I’d show a quick demo I made for my students to model and a way to show support for my favorite football team the Buffalo Bills. This was cut on the glowforge on draft board and clear acrylic. I used copper tape and LED’s along with button battery pack with a switch.

That’s lovely! I lived in Buffalo through the early 90’s so I’m familiar with your pain 
If you have interest in getting more light up to the Bill’s banner, you could leave the entire base as a solid item (instead of the posts) and scored/engraved the legs.

Oh yeah!
I would like to make one of these as a gift, are there instructions anywhere, I am new to Glowforge. Thank you.
Welcome to the forum Mary! If the OP had wanted to provide the file, it would be in their first post - but Made on a Glowforge is mostly for showing off stuff you’re proud of, not sharing files. Free Laser Designs always has a free (for personal use) file attached to the post.
This is called Edge Lit Acrylic - and you can buy the bases pre-made from Amazon or equivalent fairly cheaply. The size of your cut will depend on the size of the hole in the base you bought/made, so that’s definitely the first step. As for how, there are quite a few posts on the topic!
