Jump rings are really pretty easy...take 2 flatnose pliers and hold your jump ring one each side of the split with your pliers. Twist in opposite directions...one toward you one away from you. When ready to close it up just do the opposite. Do not pull it apart...it’s more of a twisting motion. Hope this helps 😊

If I am using an iridescent acrylic sheet that is translucent but still has a very shiny side to it, what settings would you suggest? Similar to this? Or would you say go with clear? Thanks!

[@michelleee8012]

Hiiii ! I just bought a glow forge , I’m curious of the reason why you engraved the back side? Is it because it may be dangerous to engrave the front since it’s kinda a mirror ? Could you cover the front in the masking tape and engrave the front ?

[@LisaPottsDesigns]

Hi Michelle! No specific reason, many people engrave on the front. I liked the look of the name "inside" the acrylic, rather than it sitting on top with the mirror effect. You could 100% engrave the front, just make sure to mask!

[@LisaPottsDesigns]

Thank you! 💕

[@SabineOh]

Needed this video! I've been doing my keychains a little differently but this is the method I really wanted to learn. One thing I didn't understand, if you can clarify, was why you were working on the backside of acrylic. oppose to the mirrored side. I feel like this is important but didn't quite get it.

[@LisaPottsDesigns]

I wanted the name to be a bit darker. When you engrave the backside, it takes the mirror reflection from the name. Both sides have their benefits, so I suggest doing tiny test cuts to find your preference. 🥰

[@samanthaizquierdo7118]

what settings do you use on your acrylic with the glowforge pro?

[@LisaPottsDesigns]

I set it to medium blue acrylic and use the proofgrade settings 😊

[@TheTravelBugBite]

Thank you so much for this great tutorial! Could I ask for a link for the masking tape you use? I am only finding smaller rolls of masking tape or larger rolls of paper transfer tape and I can't figure out if that's the same thing.

After that, the hardware is about .50 a piece (more or less depending on distributor and sales).
