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!

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.

Revisiting an older DIY post.

UPDATE: To an older DIY and post. I had added some paper to the inside of this cute metal envelope holder. You can find that post here: https://maddiemarrs.blogspot.com/2020/08/a-quick-and-simple-diy.html . Although it came out cute, something was off Something about the bronze was just not hitting me the way the way I wanted it to, so, I decided to paint it white - and now, I love it! You can see that in this photo I had already done a light sanding. I used white gesso for this project. Lots and lots of gesso. 😅 Oh my gosh, since it's metal, I can add magnets! How fun! I am going to leave it as is, but it would look great distressed. For now this will be on our mantel as part of our Valentine display. Afterwards, it will probably be hung in my studio and hold some yarn. I do love this, it screams happy. Until next time, Maddie

My Garage My Tools My Rules Sign Decor using my Glowforge Laser

This wood sign was made using my Glowforge laser, and is hand painted by me. This would make a great Father's Day gift. However, as I sit here typing this, I just thought of how fun this would be in pink, maybe some gold, maybe some glitter? I don't know, it sounds like it would be adorable. I may have to put that on the list of projects I'd like to get done. The sign is approximately 15 x 10.8 and sealed with a matte finish.
