## Make a Personalized Ornament with Cuttle and xTool Studio

### 1\. Personalize in [Cuttle](https://cuttle.xyz/)

-   Open the [**Dog Bone Ornament**](https://cuttle.xyz/@cuttle/Dog-Bone-Ornament-cXwOVGL9s9IY) template
-   Click **Customize this template**
-   Personalize your name and other options
-   Click **Download SVG**

This design has 3 different operations that we will assign in **xTool Studio**: **Engrave** for the year and the paw, **Score** for the lines between letters, and **Cut** to cut the final pieces from our material.

### 2\. Import to xTool Studio

-   Go to **File** > **Import**
-   Select the SVG file you downloaded from Cuttle

### 3\. Configure settings

To assign the engraving, scoring, and cutting operations, see the different colors on the bottom left, or click the **Layer and object list** icon.

-   Go to the Material menu and choose your material
-   Set the **Engrave**, **Score**, and **Cut** operations
-   See xTool’s suggested settings for each operation, and select one based on the previews

### 4\. Cut both layers

This ornament has **2 layers**. Ungroup the two layers first, and then:

-   Move the layer you don’t want to cut outside the work area
-   Print the first layer and move it outside the work area once complete
-   Bring the second layer into the work area, swap materials and print the second layer

### 5\. Assemble

-   Attach double sided glue behind first layer (Federico uses [**DualTite Adhesive**](https://creativecutsupplies.com/collections/dualtite) **-** use code **CUTTLE10 for 10% off)**
-   Remove protective film, align back layer, and gently press to attach
-   Tie a loop through the hole with about 12 inches of string

Your ornament is ready to hang ✨

You can confirm the operations are correct by looking at the right hand panel, blue lines should be scores and red lines should be cuts.
