We Made EARRINGS from SPOONS with the xTool F1

Today I'm going to introduce you to the XTool F1, a compact and versatile laser cutter and engraver, and demonstrate its capabilities by creating jewellery from unconventional materials such as metal dog tags and flatware.
My husband, Andy, will share some technical insights about this amazing tool, and we'll explore its features, including speed, portability, and safety.
The tutorial details the process of making various pieces, including photo-engraved paper, heart-shaped pendants, and bunny-themed plywood earrings, showcasing the flexibility and creative potential of the XTool F1. Carol also provides tips on using the machine and software for beginners, emphasizing its ease of use and the importance of experimenting with settings for different materials.

Such a fun toy, Carol! I appreciate lightweight wood and acrylic earrings now more than ever.

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Thank you so much, Liz.

[@user-dr5qm6wi3h]

Very cool Carol. So glad you are feeling better. I have missed your videos. That is a very nifty tool. Great for making summery jewelry with the wood, it is very light weight. Thank you for sharing.

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Thank you so much Gaetana. Yes, feeling much better now. I missed you guys too, although I was still posting in my private group for much of the time when I couldn't create videos. If you're interested in joining, here's the link: stylemakersnetwork.com/

I love that you found ways to use the forks! Let's do more if this and reduce landfill waste!! Woo hoo! So cool!

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Yes indeed! Thank you so much Penelope. I'm so pleased that you liked this one. I've got a few more coming using my xTool.

[@penelopefp]

@@The_Stylish_Maker I'm thinking of charms on bookmarks or small ornament type gift tags!

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Great idea!

[@charisse-dp4iw]

This is incredible. It looks intimidating for me! There is so many different designs it looks like. Thank you for sharing!

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Thank you Charisse. It is actually much easier to use than it looks. It's really just like using my Cricut machine. Software is super easy and you just need to play with the settings. It's very much a fun thing.

[@rhondaarmstrong1405]

So cool and so much fun. ❤❤❤

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Thank you, Rhonda. Yes, it is lots of fun to use. I have a few more tutorials in mind so stay tuned for that.

[@dawndahlberg2487]

I do not need another toy! Please hide it when I come to see you 😀. Great video and of course Andy enjoyed playing with it.

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Ha ha you have enough toys but Warwick might like this one. Thank you.

[@CynthiaMiller-px9yb]

Wow! That looks fun to play with!

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Yes, it's lots of fun! Thank you Cynthia.

[@marietrull4744]

Very cute couple

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Ha ha, thank you so much Marie.

[@Slumbert]

Piet Hein, famous danish designer etc, made some superellipse eggs. Could be Easter eggs.

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Thank you. I had to google it but I see what you mean.

[@Slumbert]

Lasercut....... I would like..... a little cobber pine tree forest under glas as little table. Green trees after chemicals. All trees would make shadows.

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

You could do that with this laser.

[@brendacarver-brown9983]

Blue and copper...

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Thanks Brenda. That was my favourite too.

[@Slumbert]

Do you know the new Einstein pattern? Not the man but Ein....stein. It's a endless pattern.

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Sorry I don't. How would that relate to my jewellery?

[@Slumbert]

@@The_Stylish_Maker if you can get the lasercutter to cut the pattern very very very small it's a endless pattern. Texture.

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Thanks@@Slumbert

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

I'm actually surprised at how fine the laser can cut.

[@Slumbert]

@@The_Stylish_Maker okay, maybe be inspired by tiles pattern, geometrybooks etc. Bracelets are wide sometimes. Maybe Einstein and superellipse in the lock somehow? Green cobber with golden lock?

[@remymccoy6078]

and I was like "WTF🤔" but whatever 🤗

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Haha. I totally get that! It was just about having fun and recycling really.
