Materials You’ll Need For These Laser Cut Ccallop Easter Basket Tags
I used a mix of acrylic and basswood for these because I loved the look. That said you can use painted wood or pre-finished plywood, as well.
- Scallop Easter Basket Tag Set Laser File Bundle
- 3mm (1/8th inch) acrylic in white and pink
- 3mm (1/8th inch) basswood plywood
- 3M 467MP double sided adhesive tape (for the names)
- JB Weld ClearWeld or Starbond Medium
- paper masking, optional
- suede cord or ribbon for hanging
I like to clean up my pieces with Novus acrylic cleaner but if you don’t have that, use a polishing cloth on the acrylic before gifting or packaging.
How to Make These Laser Cut Easter Basket Tags
Prepare the material with masking and/or double sided tape.
Create names sized to the completed basket tags. My fonts used were Uncle Grump and I Heart You.
Set material or enter settings. I used all masked material for this project on the xTool P2 and cut the pink acrylic at 100 power, 22 speed, 1 pass and the white acrylic at 100, 19, 1. The basswood was set at 80, 20, 1.
Load material into the laser, ensuring it is level and measure the material (one by one if you have placed multiple pieces in the bed).
Use the close view camera to ensure the designs are placed well on the material. Turn off the output for all layers NOT being processed and process the cuts. Repeat for all materials.
Sand any plywood, if needed, and seal if desired.
Remove the masking from one side of the inner design (oval or scalloped oval) and affix to the backer. Let dry for a few minutes before clamping to set (careful when clamping to ensure nothing moves).
Remove the masking from one side of the add on design (like the bunny) and glue into place. Let dry for a few minutes before clamping.
Remove the adhesive tape backer and affix the name onto the basket tag.
Clean the piece using acrylic cleaner and add a suede cord or ribbon for hanging.
