Making a Boho Autumn Gather Sign with Your Laser Cutter
In this tutorial, I will teach you how to make this boho Autumn sign from the laser file in our shop at The Laser Collective.
If you weren’t familiar, we have a laser-cutting subscription program. Members get access to many of our files months early before going on sale to the public, and this laser file set was one of them we released in July. Now it’s available to you!
In our shop, you can purchase the Boho Autumn Sign for Laser Cutting.

Steps to Making a Boho Autumn Gather Sign with Your Laser Cutter
- I am using 1/8 Maple from Home Depot for this laser project. I cut from pre-painted white and black MDF that I had already prepared for my project. I usually will paint my boards with a foam cabinet paint roller, let it cure, then mask it before cutting. This gives me the most beautiful and clean looks for my projects. I also used 3M Adhesive on the center portion and lettering to make gluing those down faster and less messy.
- Follow along with my video.
- The first steps of my videos are going to go over the files and how they may look or need to be adjusted for size, and I use the Glowforge app for this video. But you can use what I share with you on how to use my files with any laser app to understand my layers, the colors on my layers, and the order I run things on my laser cutter.
- If you are using the laser files as they are or have adjusted your files and made a new SVG, start by dragging the files into your app. I’m using the Glowforge app, but you can use other laser-cutting applications and follow along.
- Start by running the faux mitered corners as a high-quality score, then score the letters on the center back portion and the outline. Everything else is a cut.
- Finally, glue down your pieces. This is a super easy sign to make with your laser cutter.
