Step 1: Cutting Basswood Flowers


Begin by loading the files into XCS (xTool Creative Space) and size them to fit the basswood.


Then set the settings to the 3mm Basswood settings.


Next, click the start button and let the xTool S1 cut out the wood flowers.

I absolutely love using tried and true files from Creative Fabrica, it's so simple to just download them, upload to the software, size and cut.


I had the xTool cut these patterns out 2 times, to really make sure that they were cut through.

Step 2: Color the Flowers


If you are excited about adding color to your flowers, now is the perfect time to color them.


Spray paint works great and quick, so that's the number one recommendation.


You can paint them with a paintbrush.


Stain the wood flowers with a gel stain if you want to add a deeper tone to the wood.


You could paint them with acrylic paint pens or craft paints.


I'm leaving them natural, because that's my favorite.

Step 3: Gluing Layers


Now it's time to glue the layers of the flowers together.


I love the multiple layers of these wooden flowers, but the top layer is super intricate and thin.
Use care as you hold it. 


Then use the precision craft glue, this is my favorite glue--it's got a tiny precision tip for the ease of application.

Press the layer in place and place something firmly on it for about 5 minutes.


The glue will dry in 5 minutes but need 24 hours to cure, so it's best to plan ahead a bit for this...even though it will definitely work for a last minute project too.

I love these layered flower designs.


They are easy to put together and fit flawlessly.


They give a little more strength to the wood flower, however these are fragile.


If you want to make them a little more durable, cut out 2 of each stem shape and glue them together too.

Step 4: Display


Now the wooden flowers are finished and ready to display.


If you are making an arrangement in a vase, a bud vase with some filler is ideal.


If you are making a wedding bouquet, I would use a more 3D flower and glue it to a bouquet form.


If you use these layered flowers for a wedding bouquet, double or triple them so they are a little more sturdy and tie them off with a satin ribbon.


These could also work for displays and event centerpieces.

BEST TIPS FOR LASER CUT WOOD PROJECTS:


Material Selection:


Choose the right type of wood for your project. 


Different woods have varying densities and react differently to laser cutting. 


Consider factors like hardness, thickness, and grain direction when selecting wood for optimal results.

 


PRO TIP: Cut everything out of cardboard first before cutting into wood.

Focus on Ventilation:


Ensure proper ventilation in the workspace. 


Wood cutting releases fumes, and adequate ventilation helps in dispersing them. 


A well-ventilated area, or even a dedicated exhaust system, contributes to a safer and healthier working environment.


Don't cut hazardous materials like PVC Vinyl--they will release toxic fumes while cutting.


PRO TIP: Use the xTool Air Assist to minimize scorching on the edges of laser cut wood. (separate purchase but well worth it)



Fake flowers are the perfect gift, give a bouquet of wooden roses to a loved one.

Calibrate Laser Settings:


Accurate calibration of the laser cutter settings is crucial. 


Adjust power, speed, and frequency settings based on the type and thickness of the wood. 


Experiment with scrap pieces to find the optimal configuration before cutting the final project.

Secure Material:


Secure the wood material firmly to the laser cutter bed. 


This prevents any movement during the cutting process, ensuring precision and preventing potential mishaps. 


Utilize magnetic clamps or other securing methods to keep the wood in place.

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!?
