How to Create a Layered Wood Round Sign using an xTool M1
Learn how to create a layered wood round sign using this free Summer Welcome SVG file.
Materials
- wood round
- 3 mm balsa wood
- paint
- strong hold glue
- clear coat spray for outdoor use
Tools
- paint brushes
- laser machine (like the M1)
Instructions
- If using a pre-bought wood round, measure the size of the wood round first.
- Download the free files (click here to download).
- Open xTool Creative space.
- Click on the image icon in the upper lefthand corner.
- Find where you downloaded the SVG file and insert it into the project.
- Resize the image to the correct size of your wood round.
- If you're not cutting your own wood round, delete the circle.
- Place your plywood sheets inside of your xTool M1.
- Turn on your xTool M1. Refresh the image.
- Place the pieces of the SVG onto the plywood on the screen. If not all of the pieces fit, put some off to the side and select the pieces and on the righthand toolbar, select ignore.
- Use framing to make sure the pieces fall within the wood you're cutting on.
- Press start and cut the pieces.
- If all of the pieces did not fit in the first cut, place a new piece of wood down.
- Repeat steps 10-12 with the remaining pieces until all pieces have been cut. Make sure to select ignore for any pieces you are not currently cutting and select output for those you are cutting.
- Once the pieces are cut, stain or paint your wood round if desired.
- Paint your individual pieces and let them dry.
- Using a spray adhesive (or another adhesive of choice), adhere the pieces to the sign.
- If the sign is hanging outside, spray the sign with a clear coat, non-yellowing spray to help protect the sign.
Notes
The additional time is for drying time. You'll need about 24 hours for the paint to dry and another approximately 24 hours for the glue to dry before hanging the sign.
If you're cutting the round yourself, you can score the wood round with the design to ensure the perfect placement of the individual pieces.
