Steps to Make a Summer Palm Springs Tray Decor Set With Your Laser Cutter
Most people will be able to use the SVG file as-is.
I am using 1/8 MDF pre-printed by Smokey Hill Designs for this project.
- Follow along, or do the following:
- 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.
- Rearrange the layers to set up the steps in the order they need to be created. I have indicated my color-coding system for layers in the instructions PDF file.
- If you are not using the same size materials as me, you may have to open the vector file in a native vector app and adjust the hole openings for the tabs for the kerf of your materials.
- Then you can cut out all of the pieces. I used regular wood glue for this project.
And here are some pictures of the Palm Springs Tray Decor.
