In this video we create a personalizable easter egg ornament - just type your name to make your own! We use the Pen Tool with the Mirror Repeat modifier to create decorations. We also learn a trick to apply the usually invisible Treatment modifier to a project. This lets you choose between Weld and Score to create a single cut, or separate pieces if you want to use different materials.

You can use this template as a starting point for your project:

In this video, we explore how to use engraved text as background decoration on a shape. We use the Tile Repeat and Mask modifiers to create the background text. We also see how to allow adjustments to the final result by extracting various parameters like text spacing, angle, and size. Finally, we add a selection menu that lets us choose between different shapes.

In this video, we create a Bottle Holder Ornament from scratch in the Cuttle Editor. We start by measuring our bottle, and then design a ring that fits around the bottle. We then create a frame where these rings can slot in. This outer frame can be any shape we want it to be!

In this video, we look at questions requesting small modifications to various ornament templates. We see how to add a halo to the Paw Ornament, using multiple fonts in the Circular Ornament, as well as adding shapes to the Circular Ornament. These approaches can be used to make one-off tweaks to many of our templates.

In this video, we create a personalizable Christmas Tree Topper. We apply the Fit Within modifier to Connected Text so that any name fits in our shape. We organize the design into a Preview and Cut component. Finally, we learn a slightly advanced trick and use the Visible modifier in conjunction with a Selection parameter so users can choose different shapes from a drop down menu.

In the video, we learn how to create 3D ornaments from flat laser cut parts using slot construction techniques. We first set up a template with a slot component that can be adjusted based on the height of a design and the thickness of the material. Using this setup, we quickly prototype a range of 3D ornaments including a star, a Christmas tree, and a snowflake.

In this livestream, we learn how to create a customizable gift card holder from three pieces. We first create a component with the standard dimensions of a card. Using that as a reference, we design the the three pieces that are assembled to create the holder. As an optional extra, we see how we can add different designs to the front piece.

In this livestream, we learn how to design a layered letter charm. We use the Remove Holes and Boolean Difference modifiers to separate the inlay shapes so that we can cut them from a different material. We then use the Expand or Offset modifier to create a backer. We also see how we can use components to separate the different parts of the design.

In this video, we look at how we can share our projects with the Cuttle community. We look at the Explore tab that lets us discover cool projects that others have made. We also see how we can modify the Read Me page of a project so it's ready to share with others.

In this video, we look at three different ways to make laser-cut name signs with multiple layers. The three approaches give us a look into how three different modifiers - Flatten, Weld and Score, and Layered Stack - each work and when we would use them.

Flatten creates an inset look which lets you use two different materials but is tricky to assemble. Weld and Score uses a single material but you can add more visual interest using paint. And Layered Stack lets you use two materials and stack them.

This video is a little different in that instead of a tutorial on a specific project, we provide an overview of what users can do with Cuttle. We go over the two main aspects of Cuttle - templates, and the editor. We also compare the Cuttle Editor to common vector editing tools like Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape, so that you can figure out which tool best fits your needs!

In this video, we create a tester for embedding magnets into your laser cut projects. After manually creating a series of holes for the tester, we explore how to hack the Linear Repeat modifier to automate this process. This lets us easily tweak the tester template for different sized magnets.

In this video we create a Christmas Tree ornament with Game Tiles. We use the Letter Tile Keychain created by Brian Wente as a starting point, which you can find on the Cuttle Templates page. After tinkering with some code, this remixed templated lets us add multiple names and arrange them into an ornament.

In this video we create 3 variations of medals that can be made for Christmas with a customizable name, so the recipient can be inducted into "Santa's Nice List". And we talk about the difference between scoring and engraving, and the technique for scoring on mirrored acrylic.

The Santa Icon was found on The Noun Project Website and was designed by Brad at:

This facebook live session is a show-and-tell on a couple of projects we've been working on for making the process of designing press-fit inlays easier. We think earrings look great with this technique so we made 3 earring designs, we also made a tester that helps you figure out how to find the right kerf compensation and we walk you through using the Inlay design kit for making your own work.

On this is a facebook live session we take a deep dive on using the Expand (Offset) modifier. We cover connected text, non-connected text, using it on arbitrary shapes and even on imported SVG's. We also cover some best practices and how to create a sign template that uses Expand, Contract and Remove holes.

On this is a facebook live session we revisit and old project, making garden markers, and try in several different styles using some new tools that have been added to Cuttle ("weld and score" and "warped text"). Each version uses a text parameter so you can simply change the text and the design stays consistent.

On this is a facebook live session talk about modifying (or hacking) existing templates. There isn't a single answer and it's more about the willingness to look into it. We do a quick tour over the architecture of the easter bunny tag template and add a ribbon to the circular name ornament template.

On this is a facebook live session we cover how to make an ornament template composed of some text surrounded by a ring. We use the Fit Within modifier and the Weld And Score modifier so the name is welded to the circle with score lines automatically added to help the name "pop" out of the ornament.
