## Video Tutorial: [Making colored engraves on acrylic](https://youtu.be/ZiDvcUUwwts)

Federico recorded a [video tutorial](https://youtu.be/ZiDvcUUwwts) showing how to use the template and how to get great results with colored engraves on acrylic.

To get the colored engrave — for example the red stitches on white acrylic for the baseball — there are two techniques.

The first is to engrave the white acrylic and then do an ink fill with a red paint pen.

Federico tried a bunch of products and the winner was **DecoColor Paint Markers**. There are [links to all the supplies we used on the template](https://cuttle.xyz/@cuttle/Sports-Keychain-Bag-Tag-F2Pr8nAAfymg). Definitely watch [Federico’s video](https://youtu.be/ZiDvcUUwwts) for tips on this, like using gorilla tape to peel the masking.

The other option is to get **two-tone acrylic**, which has a surface color (white for the baseball) and a core color (red). When you engrave it, the surface color burns off revealing the core color.

You can get any surface color and any core color. Here’s a white surface with black core, for a soccer ball:

You can also get printed surface patterns, like this basketball texture with black core:

Finally, you’ll also want to get some **DualTite Peel and Stick Adhesive** and some **Keychain Thingies**!

We have links to all these materials (and coupon codes!) on [the template page](https://cuttle.xyz/@cuttle/Sports-Keychain-Bag-Tag-F2Pr8nAAfymg) if you scroll to the bottom.

## Other Improvements and Fixes 🐞

-   On fonts with heart connectors, you can now choose “heart” as the `endStyle` in the font picker.
-   Fixed a bug with some older projects having parameter names which conflicted with Cuttle built-in names.
-   Added the “Switcher” component to the Advanced area of the create panel. We’ll try to do a tutorial about this soon…
