This week we show you how to make custom Acrylic Wind Spinners. We go through the process step by step from creating the designs to bending the laser cut acrylic. We walk through creating the designs in xTool Creative Space and Adobe Illustrator. We cut the acrylic on the xTool P2 Desktop Laser. Then we used our heat gun to make them soft enough to shape the acrylic. Finally, We go over the time and cost to make them and what they sell for on Etsy.
Stuff We Used:
xTool Coupon Code for $80 off - KGM10
xTool P2 Desktop CO2 Laser: www.xtool.com/products/xtool-...
Acrylic: www.ceruleantides.com/acrylic

Hi Kim and Garrett - Really cute ideas. I really enjoy these crafts, even though I don't have a laser, because I think teaching your patrons is fabulous. Mentoring to new patrons how to get thier businesses up and running , and showing them new ideas is a win/win. Thanks for sharing and continued success. Love PegEgg

Love them. Could have attached line to a fishing spinner. So that the line wouldn't get twisted.

Really cool! If I may ask, do you cut the blanks, or order them precut?

Really cool! Please excuse my ignorance, but being that I know nothing about sublimation, isn't it easier to sublimate first, and then cut it out in the P2?

Hi KIm and Garrett! I watch you all the time and love your videos! I have two Glowforge Pros and decided to get a bigger laser and today bought the AP Lazer SN4836LR. What do you think of that laser? Did I make the right choice? Jan :)
