As some of you may have noticed, there is a giant new laser cutter at the shop! Since my interests are less acrylic and wood and more fabric and yarn, I decided to ask Tyler to laser cut some leaves out of felt for use in a fun fall wreath. Here is how I did it:
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
- felt in seasonally-appropriate colors
- foam wreath ring (14″) wrapped in yarn
- squirrel ornanment from Walmart
- miniature pinecones on a stick from Joann
- giant laser cutter
- glue gun + sticks

- magic
- put the felt in the laser cutter and tell it to go

- generously glue the squirrel and pinecone to the base of leaves, allow to dry
- touch up spots as needed
