Make your home the #1 Trick-or-Treat house in the whole neighborhood with unique, personalized Halloween decor made with your Glowforge!
Project Inspiration: Ghostly Ornaments
With just a sheet of acrylic, you can laser cut some super cute (or super scary) ghost ornaments to hang in your windows, on your porch, or anywhere else that needs a little haunting.
Materials Needed:
- 1 sheet of white acrylic
- Glowforge Performance Laser Cutter
Steps:
- Create your own ghost design in the Glowforge App, or import a design from anywhere. Copy and paste your design as many times as you like to craft a gaggle host of ghosts.
- (Pro tip: use Glowforge’s adjustment tools to change the size and orientation of your ghosts to fit as many as possible on one sheet.)
- Using Glowforge’s design tools, add a small circle at the top of your ghost — this will cut a small hole that you can use to hang them up later.
- Set up your print to cut out your ghost shapes, and hit the glowing button!
- (Pro tip: use Proofgrade® Acrylic for automatic settings.)
- Using string or clear wire, hang your new ghostly pals around your home and enjoy the Halloween season.
Other Eerie Ideas:
Ghosts are just the beginning. Grab a few more sheets of materials and make yourself a custom jack-o’-lantern decoration, a spooky haunted house, or an adorable trick-or-treat gift bag — all with a laser!
