We'll design a pair of earrings using a free app; then, we'll make them using ⅛" acrylic sheets and our laser cutter, "BMO".
You don't need a lot of money to start your own jewelry line! In this class, we'll design a custom pair of 1" × 1.5" earrings using a free app called Inkscape (which runs on Windows or macOS). We'll use Inkscape to save our design as a scalable vector graphic (SVG) file, and then, using our 45W laser cutter, we'll cut/etch this design onto small pieces of ⅛"-thick acrylic plastic in various colors, which you can connect to earring hooks.
This class is for anyone who likes fashion design, cosplay, jewelry, or standing out in a crowd. With the skills you'll learn in this class, you could launch your own distinctive jewelry line!
