This beach-themed custom wedding cake topper project how-to includes two Laser How-to Instructions videos to help you through the process – check it out below!
Step 1: Setup
Open your file and modify it as necessary. This file is vector-based, so it’s resizable to fit your needs.
Step 2: Prepare Materials
Remove the protective paper backing from your acrylic (if applicable). Check out our Laser Quick Tip Video: Removing Acrylic Adhesive Backing for a super easy hack to get the paper off quickly and cleanly.
Step 3: Focus the Laser
Place your material into the machine, using something to elevate it off the vector grid table for a cleaner cut. Focus the laser using the focus gauge or auto-focus feature.
Step 4: Print the Job
Send the beach chair graphic to the laser with the correct parameters for your machine.
Step 5: Add Adhesive to your Acrylic
For the bride-groom name graphic, adhere adhesive tape to the back of the piece. Send the file to the laser for cutting. Looking to create your own bride-groom name file? Check out our Laser Quick Tip Video: Joining Text in CorelDraw.
Step 6: Assemble your Wedding Cake Topper
Once the name graphic is cut, remove the tape from the back and adhere to the topper – that’s all there is to it!
