I wanted to use my laser cutter to make something unique for Father’s Day. So, I decided to engrave a monogram on a leather wallet. I think it turned out so cool and it was so easy to do. I think it will make a great Father’s Day gift.
HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED
- Leather Wallet
- Laser Cutting Machine Electronic cutter (I used the Xtool S1 20 Watt)
- Cut File (I used this one)
HERE’S WHAT YOU DO
STEP 1: SET UP AND ENGRAVE WALLET.
Every brand of laser cutter/software will have a slightly different setup process. I’m going to share how I set this project up using Xtool Creative Space.
After opening Creative Space, I selected my material. Next, I placed the wallet inside the box, set the distance, and marked the edges.
Next, I brought in my design to Creative Space. I added the name to the monogram and then resized it to about 1.25″ tall and moved it to the lower right corner of the rectangle. I set everything to engrave and then sent the design to the machine to process.
I love watching the laser at work.
And this is what it looked like after it had engraved the design.
It took just a few minutes to make, but it looks so professional. Isn’t that an awesome gift for Father’s Day?
