I love making things on my laser . . .

I can't stop guys!

I know I haven't been posting as much as I should, but boy I promise you, I do craft and use my laser often. I literally look forward to getting up and getting ready, just so I can jump on my laser or paint and put together something I cut.

I will be uploading some more pics to my Instagram account. I can be found @maddiemarrs2020.

Here are some projects I worked on for July 4th.

The banner was made on 1/8" baltic birch wood. I used acrylic paints to paint the pieces other than the stars. For the stars, I used some silver foil leaf paper for a little pop.

The Solo cup and marker holder - Done in 1/8" baltic birch and stained with blue stain and engraves. I currently have some listed in my Etsy shop. Not only is this fun to add to any event, its a great way to make sure your guests mark up their cups. Hopefully, one never has to lose another cup at a gathering again. ha!

Round July 4th sign - Done in 1/8" baltic birch. painted using acrylic paints for everything but the stars, which was done with silver foil leaf paper. I made the flowers out of fabric and cut out some bigger star pieces for the center, to add a little detail.

Here is a side view of the almost 12" round sign. The white stand was cut on white acrylic.

Have I mentioned how much I love my laser!

'Til next time, keep crafting!

Life handing out lemons .... (Made from cardboard boxes)

Hi there! This sign is fun and so cute. I did this using cardboard boxes from deliveries. I'm not sure why, but I sure do love using cardboard boxes. Maybe it's because I love the way the sides look and I love how light it is. Best of all, I love how easy it is to work with. I love it all! Well, here it is . . . Materials used: cardboard boxes, Apple Barrel acrylic paint & some glue. I know this was short and sweet but I hope you have enjoyed. Until next time -Maddie #iplaywithfire #lasermade #glowforge #cardboardboxes #lifehandingoutlemons #applebarrel

Redoing Ceramic Garden Mushrooms

Hello! I have decided to redo this cute ceramic garden mushroom. It was hanging out in my front yard for a few years, but it's slowly not looking so great. Not one white spot left on any of the mushrooms. It was time for it to go. Since this piece was outside, it was subject to a lot of the outdoor elements. This means it needed a good cleaning. May I also suggest doing that outside. I didn't and yeah, I should have. 😉 Next, I wiped this down with some rubbing alcohol so that I could add a coat of gesso by Liquitex. Side note: This one bottle has definitely seen better days. 😂 For now, I have decided to just redo the top portion of the mushrooms. I could always go back and do the bottom portion if I change my mind. So for now, just the mushroom tops are being gesso-ed and prepped for paint. 😊 This is it before being sealed. To get these colors, I mixed paints I had on hand. I'm trying to use up some of my older paints so this just works for me right now. 😅 Many co

Halloween Ghost - Tic Tac Toe Game

What a fun classic game - Never gets old. This cute ghost game set can travel with you, or help time pass if you are waiting for an appointment with your special ones. Because come on, who doesn't love to play tic tac toe and silently compete? 😂 Using my Glowforge laser, this cute ghost was cut and engraved on baltic birch wood. Acrylic was used for the games pieces (ghosts/pumpkins). The ghost is approximately 5.12 w x 6.5 h.
