 What is up? Welcome back. Do you like to do a builder to make it? So do we. We have new videos each week every Tuesday and Friday. This week we're continuing our quick and easy laser projects using Canva. Last week we showed you how to make door corners in Canva using Canva and Lightburn. This week we're going to continue that series and we're going to make ornaments and we're going to show you how you can make your own custom ornaments using Canva and Lightburn. Step one, we're going to gather all of our supplies. We just needed some eighth inch Baltic birch and some stains. That is it. Step two, we're going to create a design. So we'll meet you over in Canva. Alright we're going to start in Canva. Do not sleep on Canva. It is a super powerful tool. It's a great place to start like any design. We're going to start with just a poster. We'll do a landscape. Alright now we're going to make a Christmas ornament so we're going to start with a circle. We're going to get rid of the fill and give it a stroke. Kind of weighty stroke. Let's give it a weighty stroke. Back to elements. We'll look for some Christmas trees or some pine trees. Those are kind of cool but no, they won't work. That's a good little tree. I'll take this tree. You did? I don't know what happened. I looked back and it was pink as well. We're going to copy, paste, ctrl-c, ctrl-v, paste. We'll throw another one in here and maybe one more. Alright, you know what this needs? This needs a Santa Claus. Santa, Santa's like. Graphics. A little too tiny, huh? I don't need all of the reindeer. I just need three. Look at this guy. This one's a good one. Throw him up in here. Now is he a photo? The tricky part of this is? No. Yeah, let's say you had a photo. Maybe we'll grab another. You can always image trace him. Another Santa just in case. Yeah, we could always image. Ooh, I really like this guy and I know that's a black and white. Might be a little thin. We always have just the one deer. Yeah, maybe that's easier. Yeah. Alright, you know what I need now? I need a little merry Christmas. Now, I like this big classic guy right here. He's like, seems very official. This is like official Christmas right there. It does look official Christmas. What about that one? That looks very official Christmas. There's a tree gonna mess things up. What one? Right under those sweaters right there. You see that one? This guy? Mm-hmm. I don't think so. I think that tree is technically not connected. So it looks like I have all my elements. So let's download this. We're gonna go download as an SVG. One of the great perks of being a pro on Canva or having a pro account, you can be a pro but you don't have a pro account, is that you can download these as an SVG and then you're able to import them right into like light burn and then you can finish manipulating them. Downloads. I think this is the one I just did. Ooh, look at all my elements. Alright, let's start making some things. I can just kind of group all these guys together. So this stroke didn't come in on your circle. Nope, it didn't. That's interesting. Alright. Here's a little deal. Just put a stroke on this guy anyway using this outline or offset stroke. Now right now everything's pretty big. So I'm gonna grab the one I just made the outline and the inside one and we're gonna go boolean subtract. That creates one whole thing here. These trees. I'm gonna make a couple of copies of this guy. Copy paste. These trees. What kind of Santa do you think will work? My original Santa really didn't come in. Let's try to give him an image trace. Trace image. Bring this threshold down. There you go. The Santa is dead to me. You're out of here, Santa. Get out of here, Santa. Do we want the one reindeer Santa? Yeah, I mean I think the others look a little thin. They're gonna get real thin when you cut them on the laser. I can grab this guy and I can give him an offset. It's the thin offset. There. Now I got him but he's just a little bit beefier. Okay, all right. Think he's beefy enough now? It's this one down here. There's the beefy guy. Yeah, his antlers start. The antlers look a little weird now. Like you see how they lose their antler. Their antler-esque. Yeah, yeah, that's not bad. It's gonna be real. Let's see what it looks like. You could take the center out of that one. Between the first and yeah, that piece there. You're gonna ungroup it. Group it again. All right, get out of here one reindeer Santa. I mean these antlers are still, they're not great but they're not. It's gonna be small. Yeah, it's gonna be very small. Okay, I hear you. I'm shrinking them in here now. I think those little antlers that small will just be a mess anyway so this is better. Bring this guy back. I'm gonna give this a copy and paste. I just grab both circles. Make sure they're aligned. Right, the Santa's touching a couple of pieces. Let's move this guy out of the way so I can see my Santa. And unite. Well, where'd he go? I need to grab him. So you need to weld Santa first and then, oh no you can't because of the sleigh. I see. Oh, there he goes. Now I'll grab it all the way. Group. All right, now we got two layers going. Trees and then there's that layer. But now I want to put Merry Christmas somewhere so we can get rid of all these other Santa clauses. Get out of here. I'll see you on the 25th. Go on now, get. All right. Let's make some snow. Make some snow. A little snow hill. A little snow hill. I don't see it snow. It's like a little snow hill camp. See? Don't look like a little snow hill to you. Yeah. Let's unite it and then we'll see. Wait, wait, wait, wait. How did you get that to unite? Instead of using the weld all, I just went ahead and boolean union shapes A and B. Okay. And then I'll do it to this guy again. And now I'll ungroup. Ungroup. We'll get rid of that cut out. Right? That either looks like a little snow hill or a butt. Group. All right, so there's my little snow hill. So here's all my pieces so far. Let's go ahead and send them off. So I got the trees back there. And I have the Santa back there. And then I have some snow up here. You think the snow is looking like a little butt, right? So let's see what we could do. We're gonna grab that and now we're gonna take these nodes and we'll edit them down a little bit. Maybe because the right and left sides point down so much, maybe bring them up a little bit. Well, let's get rid of this guy. I'm gonna hover over it and hit D. It kind of makes it look less like a butt. D. So instead of pointing down, should it curve up a little or at least go straight across? What? This guy? The ends. Where they connect to the round outline? Yeah, right there. Like it's like too far down, don't you think? This guy? Yeah. Looks snowy enough. Grab both of these pieces and group them again. What? This Christmas? Maybe this guy? Yeah, I mean that was my vote, but whatever will fit work. So we'll go ahead and let's make sure that's centered. Oh. Oh. Let's group all these pieces first. I'll make sure it's centered. So now I have my three pieces. Let's get rid of these guys. We'll line these up. How tall are they? More inches, millimeters and seconds. These are eight inches tall. They're a little big, huh? Yeah. I'm gonna make them maybe four. Four inches tall. That must have not been grouped. And you did what? Control G to group? Yeah, Control G to group. Do these need a little string hanger? Do I need a little thing at the top? Yes. Circle, another circle, hidden out circle. Now right now those two circles are sitting on top of each other. Right. And what you just did was? I did a boolean subtract and I actually subtracted the little circle from the big circle to create a donut. Let's make sure I'm gonna put this in the same place on each of them. I'm gonna take all of them. Again, I'm gonna make sure they're all aligned. Put this guy right up top and center. Now for this guy, I'm gonna go to Control D. Control D. Now I should have made two copies. Let's see. One. And that's duplicate. Yeah. Duplicate. There you go. So I'll grab one of the circles and one of the circles. Move it over here. I'll grab one of the circles and one of the circles and move it over here. Merge. Oops, I got it on grouping. Let's make, while this is there, I'm gonna keep this one double zeros. But I'm gonna grab this thing that's sitting in. I'm gonna make it red. So I'm gonna use this for cut. And grab both of these and we'll both be cuts. So now I think we're ready to go. I group these just to make sure they don't move again. All right, what do you think? I got three layers with some engraving and some cutting. I like it. Perfect. We're gonna make all of our cuts. I'm gonna bring this eighth inch Baltic birch over to the X-Tool P2 and we're gonna cut it out. All right, we're all ready to cut and engrave. So my engraving is 175 millimeters per second and my power is 20 for my engraving. I'm gonna use fill. And then for my cut, I'm gonna use 20 millimeters per second, 100% power. We'll make sure everything's highlighted and we'll hit start. Four stain. Actually, we're gonna stain. We're staying on all of these little pieces. So we're gonna use three different color stains. We're gonna go light to dark. So light, the lightest stain is gonna be on the bottom and the medium stain is in the middle and then the darkest stain is gonna be on top. Okay, so I got the latest one? Yes. All right. Assembly, we're just gonna use this starbond thick and glue all our little layers together. I think I'm just gonna put glue on this middle layer. So this was a good chunk of change. I mean, we ended up using some scrap wood. We didn't even use like full board, even if I did as maybe 50 cents in wood and it looks like they can go for like 15 bucks. Yeah, and the more custom they are and specific. So this one's kind of a generic Christmas ornament. But if you can make an ornament that's custom to your area with maybe like landmarks or local teams or just different things that are custom to your area, your state shape, your city shape, those things go for even more because they're more of an emotional purchase. So I think you can get anywhere from $15 to $20 for these. Yeah, those aren't bad. So 50 cents in wood, 11 minute cut time and in grave time, you can get $15 to $20 for it. I think that's a great one. It's a good what? It's a good chunk of change. Thanks to all of our patrons. We love you guys. And if you're not going to join us for the patron after show, we will see you next week. We'll do it building and make it again.
