Booth all set up!
Happy Holidays everyone! Stay warm 
With about 3 weeks left in prepping for holiday sales on and offline, streamlining my work and staying on track is quite important. Hence, I have broken down my day into 4 main categories of work:
Designing:
I designed several different types of ornaments. Snowflakes, baby onesies, pet ornaments & heart-shaped ornaments.
Baby's 1st Christmas Ornament Personalized with Name
Doggie Paw Ornament
Heart Shape Ornament
Love Snowflake
Once I’m done with designing, I can then take it to the epilog laser.
Making:
I used two different types of materials to make the ornaments. A clear see through acrylic and a mirror acrylic. The laser engraves and cuts the design out. Depending on how intricate the design, cutting a sheet may take over an hour for the entire process.
Engraving!
Cutting
I captured a video but it’s too large to post here. But you can watch the video on Youtube here. It’s of a trophy I was making for halloween so it was less intricate than the snowflakes and took a lot less time.
Wrapping:
I have a poly-tubing heat sealer so I’ve been using that to package my ornaments. Since removing the protective layer takes a long time and once it’s done, I don’t want to get more fingerprints on them, I opt-in to wrap them up nicely.

Shooting my products:
Last but not least.. this is one of the more important final touches to product placement. Taking great photos! I’m going to say that I definitely have a lot of room for improvement because neither am I a photographer, have a great lit place to showcase my products and I lack consistent backgrounds when I take photos. 
So, I hope to improve in my photography skills next year… but until then, PHOTOS!
I show case my photos on my Facebook page here.
My Flickr page here.
My Etsy pages & Twitter account also showcase my photos. Homepage and side bar will take you there.

The possibilities are always endless when it comes to having a laser cutter/engraver to help you with your craft projects. This season, I decided to focus my laser engraving and cutting work primarily in creating ornaments and using acrylic as my medium.
These pet designs are great pieces to add to your Christmas tree and could be customized with your pet’s name, holiday sentiment and/or date.
