How to Get Laser Cut Files:

Creative Fabrica is a great resource for template files.

I just purchased a one-year plan, and it comes with unlimited downloads. Granted, there are a bunch of AI generated images that do not thrill me...but the reason I decided to pay the $49 for the year was for the laser cut files.

No adobe illustrator or other graphic design programs needed, I can just download any laser-cut file and load it right into xTool Creative Space and it's ready to go.

You can get 10 free download files as a free trial. I got 10 free DXF files and then decided it was worth it to get a year subscription...which I immediately bought and canceled so I can redecide next year. (files come in all file formats)

You can subscribe and pay per month, or pay for the year. Note: if you do pay for a year, they will give you an option of paying for another year at a lower price immediately. You can purchase images by the single image, but it's not as cost effective.

Okay, these are affiliate links for Creative Fabrica, I get store credit or a small percentage if you make a purchase.

If you are running a Laser Cutting Business, I highly recommend like Creative Fabrica a site to get tried and true, tested, laser cut files that fit together perfectly.

Let me show you a few favorite files:

There are dozens of files for earring display stands.

I scoured them all, downloaded a bunch...and picked this one to make, there are 8 designs, full grids or half grids/half dots, with customizable text option:

8 style Earring Stand

Supplies Needed for Earring Holder Stand:

8 style Earring Stand (I picked the square design)
3mm Basswood
xTool S1 (or other laser cutting machine)
Paint and Paintbrush (optional)

Step 1: xTool Creative Space

Begin by uploading the design into xTool creative space.

Alter any power/speed/pass settings as necessary for your material, and place the basswood on the honeycomb and secure it in place with the magnetic clamps. Then select the useable space for the machine.

Line up the image in the useable space and add any customized text if desired.

Step 2: Laser Cutting Machine

Send the file to the machine and click start.

Watch the magic as the laser beam cuts the wood with ease.

Stay by the machine as it cuts to make sure that it goes smoothly and does not start a fire or have an error...it's just good practice to be with the machine as it works.

Step 3: Remove Pieces and Assemble

After the machine is done cutting...this took about 30 minutes I think, remove all the pieces.

The little squares go right through the honeycomb and you can sweep them out of the xTool base with a small broom and dust pan.

Then take all the unfinished wood shapes to a flat workstation.

No step-by-step guide needed for assembly.

It's so easy. It just clicks into the base easily and stands beautifully.

If you want to paint the unfinished wood cutouts, you can do it before or after it's assembled.

You can glue all the pieces in place as well...or glue the 3 pieces of the base together and keep the top grid loose so it's easy to add or remove earrings.

Great display for a handmade goods booth too!

This is a monstera deliciosa that I got from Verdant Lyfe. Get 10% off with code: DOODLECRAFT It just got its first split leaf and transplanted to a bigger pot--it's doing so well! They ship from Florida. My plants arrived in beautiful condition and were really pretty. I was worried they would be picked over or have obvious flaws...but they didn't. Every plant I got from Verdant Lyfe looks amazing. When I was little we had a giant monstera plant...for some reason I think it was my dads. I saw the split leaves and was just sure my mom cut them herself, because she was a crafter! 🤣 🤣 🤣 I am super new to houseplants. I decided now that my baby is 14 and does not need me interfering in his life all the time, I needed to start a new hobby, or ten. In the last few months I've started several new things. Plant motherhood Feeding stray cats, mostly a little kitten that found his way here in a thunderstorm and hasn't left since. Stained Glass Sun Catchers Miniatures Polymer Clay These plants really bring an element of life into my home though. I love them! I feel happier just seeing them. If you are in need of a new hobby, that brings joy, maybe a plant is right for you!?
