Yay! That’s awesome!

[@carolwargin8160]

Thank you, this is such a cute project. I also live in Central Florida but grew up in South Florida.

If you ever experience bleeding, the beauty about plastics is that you can always sand away the bleed marks, then reapply a light coat of epoxy UV resin on top and usually that will get rid of any and all scuff marks. You can then polish and wax your final piece to make it look nice and shiny. Another trick that I use, after polishing away unwanted areas, is that I take a hot torch and in a controlled motion go over the areas that were scuffed by the polishing. This will bring out a good natural shine to resin. Always practice on scrap pieces, as it takes a bit of getting used to doing this method. The key is applying the flame of the torch at the right distance, at an even and consistent speed, and paying attention to the changes on the resin surface. Thanks for your video, it gave me some good ideas.

[@FeelingCreatively]

Yay! Thank you! This was exactly what I was looking for. Now I have to see what other videos you have🤩

[@XxToltecPhantomxX]

Gorgeous! As a mum of 2 in the UK who has just bought a laser engraver I'm now so excited to get started! Plus it's so refreshing to see laser videos done by a woman ❤

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

How exciting! It’s definitely intimidating in the beginning but once you get through that learning curve, it will be amazing! Be sure to join my community on Facebook. I host weekly free trainings and it’s an overall amazing group!

[@rameshrajah613]

Am also planning to buy one can you please tell me which laser engraver you baught? can you send me som pictures?

[@jenyumz]

Thank you so much for your video! New Glowforge user here. This was just the tutorial I needed

[@NOLACreative]

Loved this video ❤️❤️

[@JoeJoe-yp4xz]

Awesome tip wit the tape to remove the masking

[@gigglebox220]

Found you on Tik Tok, I love your videos! Thank you for sharing!

[@swp466]

That Gorilla Tape is the best tip! I'm going to have to try that! I hate weeding by hand!

[@nickysarthome5903]

Very nice and creative

[@Mariazinhasousa11]

MARAVILHOSO !!!

[@jesusprince2569]

You all probably dont give a damn but does someone know of a method to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!

[@darielthaddeus9739]

@Jesus Prince Instablaster :)

[@BrianWerner]

Rustoleum Laquer and Gorrilla tape! Good to know! Thanks!

[@ThisIsHowIMadeIt]

Great trick with the tape!!

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

This Is How I Made It thanks! Can’t take credit for it though. Just something I learned from surrounding myself with awesome laser people ☺️💪🏼

[@fitness1ststeps]

Super helpful thanks 👍

[@johnstalin5406]

Wonderful video

[@prashantasmane8171]

u r amazing ideas thank u

[@JumpzVidz]

Ooo wow the gorilla tape was very clever I've never thought of that

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

I have a new favorite. Look up “plastic razor”. It’s blue with orange plastic razors and works even better!

[@ashleytorresnavarro266]

Love your tutorials!!!!! Keep them coming please!!! We are learning so much!!!! XOXO Question: How long did you wait for the gold paint to dry ?

[@fabianluescher]

Awesome. You just saved my ass. Thank you for these tips.

[@SherylLynn333]

thank you for the info. So very helpful

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Yay! I’m happy to hear it. :)

[@sharonhorta583]

You are too cute! I love this tutorial! Thank you!

[@noraperez4175]

Beautiful

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Thank you!

[@ferma40]

Good tips

[@terrigottschalk3121]

This is amazing!! Thank you for sharing your skills! Can't wait to try this. I do have a question. What kind of tape do you use for masking? Thank you soooooo much!

[@macsteamroller]

your nails look very pretty

[@rachelvalentine3428]

Have you every spray painted the acrylic after you spray poly on it? Seems like it would be a lot quicker, but I’m not sure if it would bleed or not.

[@zubairally7625]

Wow..jus what i needed. Thank you 😁

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Aww yay! Anytime :)

[@zubairally7625]

I have one question..🙈 What glue does one use to apply gold leaf onto acrylic. I'm a newbie at all of this 🙈🙈

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

@@zubairally7625 none! I just used a paint pen. :)

[@zubairally7625]

Okay...off to my local art shop and spend money 😁

[@DenissBlinov]

Thank you :)

[@torreyhartman943]

Where do you get your acrylic, it’s beautiful!

[@jose08852]

You are the best 👍

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

I hope it was helpful!

[@jose08852]

100% Thank you Blessings 🙏

[@hmokdad911]

Amazing work, just wondering have you ever tried to spray the acrylic instead of using the pen?

[@stefcaceres4239]

This is gorgeous!!! So beautiful. The gold paint falls or fades? If made this on a keychain Cuz of the pandemic if you wash it of spray alcohol it will fade?

[@belindamason8286]

Super awesome tip. Thank you!! Curious if you have ever used spray paint in any of your engraved pieces and what you thought about the results?

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Belinda Mason I’ve seen others use it successfully but spray paint and I just don’t get along 🙈

[@andrewearl9315]

That’s a great idea did you use light burn.

[@Esbylife]

I’ve been struggling to find the perfect setting for engraved acrylic in which to paint. Would love if you could share your settings. This was very helpful never thought to spray with clear first.

[@nlm8487]

Have the settings been shared yet? I noticed there is no reply to your question, so I am wondering if someone had already asked this prior to you.

[@alidadebruyn3560]

@@nlm8487 she doesn’t appear to reply to anyones questions. She appears to have acrylic sheet but again no details on what depth how she was able to cut the acrylic shape so not really in depth tutorial. To me in depth tutorials meaning is step by step detail from start to finish and when you say tutorial at least answer questions, especially if you putting a tutorial on KZbin and basically stating you helping others to do the same

[@beehr4468]

It all depends on your machine in all reality

[@mazzugara]

Maybe because she doesn't actually know how to use a laser?

[@georgeghaly5808]

Very nice work. I was amazed by this gold pen. I mean it is a true gold color. But i wonder if you can find this same color within a spray bottle. because it will be much easier for you to finish this job. I liked the frosted teal acrylic it is cool. Too bad i don't live in the US. but i do work with souvenirs and laser cutting. Nice work one more time.

[@beehr4468]

Great video !!!! If I’m using gloss black acrylic (which is a headache) I’ll be using gloss white acrylic paint on the engraving. Once the white acrylic paint is dry and everything is peeled off, do you recommend lacquer over the entire acrylic piece or should I seal the white engraving before peeling ?

[@matthewgomez2353]

What engrave and cut settings did you use for acrylic??

[@JohnSmith-jk9or]

I wonder if you could share your engraving settings on the acrylic and the type of laser that you are using? I know that every laser is different, but it looks like your engravings are nice and deep. I'd like to see if these settings will make a difference when I am paint filling. Thanks.

[@alextasy82]

Beautiful! And is that Colorstreet Coral Bay on your fingers??? It's my favorite!

[@vess7789]

Hi, thank you for this video, it was very helpful. I just wanted to ask if you know whether other types of markers can be used or do they have to be oil-based for the best results?

[@buddhathebarber4857]

What would you completely fill the etched part to the top instead of just lightly painting inside ?

[@saniemmg]

Can you do a tutorial on AI on how your created the design to cut in your glow forge? It’s very beautiful!!

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Hi! Unfortunately I do not use AI or a Glowforge but I do have a recent video on how I make my own digital files and convert them to SVGs here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5Pan2RujbGibs0

[@lyndahollins2881]

they are gorgeous, can you colour cricut engraved acrylic the same?

[@jerrysantos1148]

Great video! Quick question for you: in this case did you invert the image when you engraved it or did you leave it alone since you are painting over the engrave?

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Thanks! I left it alone because I find that inverting the image dulls the gold paint. :)

[@brendaspaul8889]

I'm a beginner love what you made, how did you get the acrylic hearts pink and blue

[@1bigslug]

Thanks for the video

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

My pleasure!

[@carlalbury5785]

Here in Land O Lakes, FL

[@basterbeatz]

Do you know maybe what paint to use for engraved acryilic? I used water based spray can paint and cracks started to form on engraved part on acrylic board. Do you maybe have suggestions what to use? Thanks

[@alyxcarter1887]

If you tried to use the paint marker over the smaller words, would it still look clean and crisp?

[@tylervickery3795]

Very nice what kind of masking tape do you use??

[@firefighter3b]

Need to try an airbrush to paint the gold inlay! Faster.

[@lsseaside7303]

Please, how did you get that gorgeous Frosted Teal colour? Exactly what paint did you use? Thank you!!! Love your work!!!

[@deniselopez3106]

Hi! Love your videos. I have a question and hopefully you might now the answer. Would using the lacquer have the same affect on wood?

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

It should. I use it for wood also :)

[@roopaljain408]

please post a video on how you make the designs from scratch!

[@nlm8487]

Do you think it would be faster by using the rustoleum metallic gold spray? It is the same color effect and beautiful shimmer just as the pen you use….

[@RyKnocks]

Awesome tutorial! Thanks for sharing! Any tips for what power settings you use? I would hate to test on that expensive acrylic haha!

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Ryan Nanca LoL for sure! What laser and wattage do you have?

[@RyKnocks]

That Mom with a Laser 100w Chinese laser. Have a 130w Thunder coming soon!

[@PeterWheeldon]

@@RyKnocks I also have a 100w Chinese CO2. I "Fill" with a speed of 300mm/s, 12% power and 0.08mm line space. I cut with 9mm/s speed and 70% power for 4.5mm Acrylic.

[@dezzykay18]

Supper cute! Where do you get your colored acrylic?

[@laurenm6023]

Beautiful job! What brand masking do you use on top of your acrylic prior to cutting?

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Thank you! My acrylic already comes masked. I get it from www.ceruleantides.com

[@jeorginavelasco4116]

Where did you get ur acrylic blanks? They are gorgeous

[@marcieglanzer5023]

Do you have to increase your power when you add masking (or 3M adhesive)? Also, do you think gold spray paint would work as well, or does it not get into the crevices?

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

I dont really need to change my settings. Spray paint will work great. I just don't get along with spray paint lol

[@monicascullion4001]

I bought a glowforge but need to learn how to design. How do you design your projects??

[@Slimm_Sheedah1]

Did the laser type that small font too? Wow!

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

yes ma'am

[@monicascullion4001]

Oh I forgot.. Where do you get your materials from? I cant afford glowforge materials! They are really high! I love your stuff!!

[@cordasolis]

Can you use other types of paint pens, like posca pens maybe?

[@arkimble7]

Can I use acrylic paint instead of the paint pen? Or even spray paint? Btw, I just love you

[@sabrinasloth]

thank you for the informative videos! I am new to lases but want to try with a laser cutter to cht up to 3 mm acrilyc, hopefully under 300 U$,can you tell me if there is a machine that you reccommend the most? Thank you!

[@MsSpunkydee]

Smart

[@alexandreelisiario]

😍👍💯😍👍💯😍👍💯

[@sameetajawanda7816]

Are you able to do a video on how to add glitter onto the laser engraved part please for acrylic.

[@tinaaaron398]

Thank you for showing this, perfect and easy. Question.... do you sell the file for this ornament? I love it!

[@mikiauto73]

Nice idea thank you! This is maybe a silly question but why don’t you use for example spray paint instead of loosing time with the pen? Could you explain why it must be done with the pen? Thank you again!

[@catinheels88]

Hello, thank you for the great advise! I am wondering whether painting acrylic like this is waterproof? I want to make jewellery! Thanks.

[@monicascullion4001]

Is the masking stuff still on the acrylic pieces when you seal them??

[@SleepWithCJ]

Gorilla tape tip is worth its weight in gold. Thanks.

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

I have a new favorite that's also awesome. Look up "plastic razor" on Amazon. It's the bomb.com :)

[@MCC-wk3um]

How long did it take for your marker to dry? Great video and beautiful result!

[@buddhathebarber4857]

What could I use to completely fill in the engraved sections for a smooth surface ?

[@ddoherty5956]

Car filler with a pigment mixed in or a 2 pack clear resin?

[@davidahe45]

I am really enjoying your video's. I just ordered a laser cutter and I am expecting it to be delivered today! Quick question. Do you also use the lacquer before painting when using wood in addition to acrylic to prevent the bleeding? Thanks!

[@stephaniecampana4847]

I'm curious about this too! I laser engraved and paint a lot of wood and I always have issues with bleeding. I use to just deal with it and wipe away but it's not ideal. Have you tried this way with wood? Anyways I'll be trying it out and I hope it works out! Would be such a life saver
