What kind of personalization do you do? How do you do it? Leave me a comment down below? Personalization is pretty hard at craft shows unless you're really good at that hand lettering But we're laser crafts and so hand lettering really doesn't go with our theme but we think we found the perfect solution to To laser engrave your products right on site at the craft show, and we're gonna do a giveaway We have a premium pack here of 54 laser engravable items get you started Step one a design time Christmas ornaments are hot because it's getting cold outside It is that holiday craft show season time And I know I wanted to bring the F1 to the craft shows with us to do some on-site personalization So we're gonna make because Garrett wouldn't let me buy a design that we could do some Personalization on these ornaments so that every kid gets their name on the ornament Grandma can have an ornament for their grandkids Mom and dad can have an ornament with the new baby Kim wanted something very specific So we would need to be able to have multiple stockings Anywhere from one or two stockings all the way up to eight stockings You might have a lot of kids or a lot of grandkids Step two, we're gonna gather all of our supplies We're gonna use some five millimeter Barledic birch with an MDF core for the backer and a little top banner Then we're gonna use some eighth inch MDF for the stockings the little I don't know stocking puffs What are those things called and the Christmas lights? Step three time for some prep. We're gonna prepaint a couple of our boards, right? We have all these tiny little stocking pieces are gonna come out of one board These are gonna be small little pieces that we do not want to have to paint individually after the fact so we're gonna go ahead and Spray paint this board white and spray paint another one red so that we can cut the stockings out of that board Step four, we're gonna make all of our cuts I'm gonna use the x-tool p2 to do all the heavy lifting get all of my cuts out of the way pre prep work All that pre prep work. That's why they're a great duo I'm gonna use the big guy to cut all the stuff and do all the the powerhouse type of things and She's gonna come in with all the little delicate details I'm also using the p2 because it's gonna Automatically focus on each of the size boards and then I don't have to guess about the settings either I'm just gonna pick Baltic birch 5 millimeter. I'm gonna pick 3 millimeter MDF step 5 and or stain We're gonna stain these little 5 millimeter Baltic birch pieces. Yes by using Baltic birch These are the perfect that's the perfect medium to stain on because it has that nice wood grain or you can paint these as well We definitely are gonna paint our little light strands there Little tiny guys tiny tiny little light strands these Posca markers are perfect for that job You could do this right on site at the craft show if you have to or you can do all this pre prep ahead of time either way Posca markers will save the day and We don't have to paint our little stockings or the little puff pieces at the top because I already painted those We just have to wipe them off Yes, maybe we should have used a little masking here Garrett was Garrett's idea was by using the high-gloss spray paint They were easily wipeable and they are you can wipe off most of it But not all of the charring on the edges came off without on site at the craft show without our little Chemicals I don't know. I don't give a little patina makes it look aged Yeah, it does give it a little antique look makes makes the stockings look a little round and makes it I think it just gives a little more life a little dimension a little dimension step six Preassemble we're gonna put some of the pieces together that don't need personalization now before we go to the show Or here you can see we did this right at the craft show It was just as easy to just glue these and stack them together right there on site Minutes I mean seconds if that yeah seconds On-site laser engrave personalization, we're gonna pack it up and hit the road X-Tool partnered with Jackery to provide an on-the-go Power pack laser engrave solution our X-Tool F1 is the fastest Infrared and diode portable laser engraver on the market.

We framed the name first Then we just clicked process start press the button and this is the fastest engrave. It took seconds seconds At craft shows we've noticed the booths that have the most traffic are somebody that's Doing a craft on the spot or doing some sort of presentation about their product Anytime Garrett is sitting there painting a sign or touching up a sign It brings people over they want to see what he's doing The thing about the f1 and having it and personalized engraving right at your craft booth It really brings folks over to see what you're doing And really gets them engaged and if one person is standing there if you've been there at a craft show You know that 10 people are standing there and the more foot traffic you have the higher your sales And who doesn't love a laser light show So you can actually see the laser and everybody's eyes are protected. They don't have to wear the goggles There's another great thing about the f1. It's portable safe laser light show You know, it'll attract the kids over Step eight Profit we're all in on materials about 50 to 75 cents depending on how Detailably painted it and if we actually stained the backer and if you add in that laser time And your paint time you're still under three to five dollars per ornament easy easy And you can probably sell these for 15 to 20 dollars Right, we were thinking of marketing these at 15 dollars As is and then maybe adding a dollar per name dollar per name.
