Remember when "personalized" meant a hastily written name tag? Those days are long gone!
Today's makers are taking customization to whole new levels, creating everything from bespoke leather accessories to show-stopping party decorations. Let's dive into some projects that caught our eye and might just inspire your next creation!
This Week's Project Inspiration:
Have you jumped on the Stanley cup trend yet? @katehickmanart took it one step further with elegant vertical name decals that transform these popular tumblers into personalized treasures. Whether you're organizing summer camp supplies or creating matching cups for a bachelorette weekend, this simple addition makes a big impact. Plus, no more mysterious disappearing water bottles!
When @craftsbybetty decided her craft space needed some personality, she didn't think small. Using the Glowforge Passthrough feature, she created an oversized "Sparkle" sign that's as bold as it is beautiful. Covered in glitter (of course!), it's the perfect reminder that sometimes more really is more!
@creationsnanillc proves that even T-Rex can dress up for a party! This acrylic cake topper is exactly the kind of custom touch that makes celebrations memorable. It's projects like these that show how a single custom detail can transform an entire event.
Speaking of making dreams come true, let's talk about @colettejohnston's incredible Pokémon wallet. By creating a custom embossing stencil with her Glowforge, she elevated simple leather into a collector-worthy piece. This project perfectly demonstrates the versatility of leather crafting with your Glowforge.
