1. Laser-cut Thanksgiving Table Decor
Thanksgiving is one of the most significant celebrations of the autumn, and elements of laser-cut table decoration will add a kind of unrestrained coziness to the festive table. All you need is an appropriate type of wood (or acrylic sheets), a highly powered laser cutter, and paint or stain. Make the design of the table decorations in software compatible with your laser cutter and engraver.
These designs can be napkin rings or place cards with Thanksgiving images. Once done, run these designs using the laser cutter on the wood or acrylics of your choice. Lastly, sand the pieces and then paint or stain them to any color that would suit the table setting. Your first results may not be perfect, but we assure you that practice makes perfect table décor.
2. Decorative Laser-Cut Bookmarks
A bookmark laser-cut would make a splendid gift, especially for any bookworm because they can use it. Such bookmarks can be made in autumn designs such as leaves, pumpkins, or acorns and can be engraved with names or special quotes. You can select wood, acrylic, and leather materials for making them.
The first thing that you will require is a design (and import in design software) for the bookmark shape. Once you have made it, use your beloved laser cutter to cut and engrave the bookmarks. Finally, add a ribbon or tassel for a perfect look.
3. Festive Laser-Cut Wreaths
This is our favorite one on the list of autumn arts and crafts, as such decorations look festive and are easy to produce using laser cutting. One may use a range of materials to make them; acorns; pumpkins, and even pinecones can be integrated as part of a wreath that is laser cut.
You only require appropriate wood or felt sheets, a laser cutter, hot glue, and a ribbon or twine. First of all, draw the layout of the wreath and the accents, such as the leaves and pumpkins. Cuts the base and the elements with the help of a laser cutter from wood or felt. Just arrange all the elements on the wreath base, glue them on, and add a ribbon or twine to hang it with.
4. Laser-cut Lanterns
We all know that lanterns are incredibly attractive and give off a cozy feel in both autumn and winter. Nowadays, people use laser-cut lanterns with intricate designs to produce striking shadows, adding to the comfort of the season. These lanterns can be made out of wood, paper, or even acrylic, and the designs used on these items can be seasonal, coming in the form of leaves, pumpkins, and acorns.
All that is required are some sheets of suitable wood, paper, or acrylic sheets, a laser cutter, and a few LED tea lights, which can be obtained from the Amazon store for a few dollars only. First, decide on the design of the lantern panels with cut-out designs, and then use the laser cutter to cut out the panels from the material selected. The last step is to join the panels together to make them into an actual lantern. The light that will be used will be a tea light with LEDs added to make it safer and warmer.
5. Laser-Cut Leaf Garlands
Autumn wreaths are simple yet give off a vibe of falling leaves and warm shades of color. If you plan to use actual leaves to make the garlands, then wood veneer felt, or even cardstock can be used so that they can adequately hold the textures. The raw materials used in making these items include wood veneer, felt or card, a laser cutting machine, and strings or twines.
To make these garlands, first select a design from templates available on Pinterest, such as maple, oak, and birch. Then, with the help of the laser cutter, shape the leaves you require in the chosen material. After that, one can go ahead and paint or stain the leaves in the colors relevant to autumn, such as red, orange, yellow, and brown. To complete the arrangement, simply string the leaves together using some twine or string, spacing each of the leaves in between to create a natural feel. They can also be hung on a mantel, above a doorway, or on the wall to give the home a jolly feeling.
There you have it, above are our top five picks of autumn arts and crafts you can make this year to celebrate the season.
