Making a Laser Cut Tea Light Bumble Bee

In this project I laser cut a bumble bee and put a tea light inside so it can light up without plugging into an electrical outlet.

So cute!

[@adriennewhite6708]

Super cute. If making it for a child, maybe adding eyes and a smile, or their name

[@TroytheMaker]

I like that idea.

[@HandCraftedBoutique1]

Love this! I’m going to try it

[@TheBestUni]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Nice job on that project. I would turn it into a set of three with the next bee being a bit smaller and so on. Keep up the good work Troy we all appreciate it.

Nice work, glad to see you took my advice with the 3m adhesive. You should try cutting the 3m adhesive with your laser. You're able to cut the adhesive to whatever shape so everything is perfectly adhere.

[@gregoryflatt]

The project is really solid. You have really amped up you video production as well. Keep up the good work!

[@Jonny_Wrigs]

Looks great, Thanks for the video T.R.O.Y. :)

[@TroytheMaker]

No problem. I appreciate it!

[@rychei5393]

Cool! make it a firefly that twinkles.

[@TroytheMaker]

Dope idea!

[@iampurpose615]

I would add eyes and a smile to the bee, wait….maybe not…hahah…it might look a little scary😂😂😂

[@TroytheMaker]

It definitely would. Always looking at you. Haha

[@kookiehoward6690]

You've done it again I love this design. I've been watching your videos for a few years now. I reached out to you via email but I haven't heard anything back. I would love to pick your brain about a few business things.

[@davinahowze3583]

Very nice. Now let me have it ☺️

[@LathanM]

Nice little project. I would look into using a triangular box instead of a square one to give the tilt. It gives you more control over the angle. Also I would add some white acrylic inserts for the wings. Acrylic parts narrower than 3mm can get fragile and break easily.

[@TroytheMaker]

Triangle back is a really good idea. Thanks a million.

[@AerynGunn]

Troy, that is so cool! Could you do a tutorial of how you made the bumble bee in Illustrator?

[@TroytheMaker]

Sorry. I’m not comfortable enough using illustrator to make a tutorial.

[@mortensvendsen4575]

Wings seems a bit fragile, one could maybe do a pattern inside them, to strengthen them a bit? Otherwise, simple but nice :) Well done :D

[@TroytheMaker]

Appreciate the tip. Maybe some initials inside the wings. You got me thinking..🤔
