DIY Wedding Decor: A 5-Step Laser Engraving Guide
New to laser engraving? Don’t worry—getting started is easier than you might think. Here’s a simple step-by-step walkthrough to help you turn raw materials into wedding-ready designs:
1. Choose Your Material
Pick a surface that matches your theme and vision. Wood is a great choice for rustic charm, while clear acrylic suits a minimalist modern aesthetic. For added elegance, try metal for glasses or table accents. Just make sure the material is clean, smooth, and flat before you begin.
2. Design with Intention
Use beginner-friendly design software to draft your layout. Whether you’re going for timeless calligraphy on invites or playful icons on party favors, tailor your design to fit your wedding style. Save the file in a format compatible with your OMTech machine.
3. Set Up the Machine
Secure your material on the laser bed. Then, adjust your settings—speed, power, and focus—to suit the material type. Most OMTech machines include presets that make this step quicker and foolproof.
4. Hit Start and Watch the Magic
Once your file is loaded and settings dialed in, it’s time to engrave! Keep an eye on the process as your design is brought to life with clean lines and crisp cuts.
5. Add the Finishing Touches
Remove your item, gently clean off residue, and—if needed—apply a wood stain or protective coating for added flair and durability. This last step gives your pieces that polished, professional look.
