We are SO EXCITED to bring you guys Laser Craft Fest: Project Day NEXT WEEK!!
Here's the lineup for our one day together!!
✨ Sarah Vanderkooy (Creative Ramblings) Sarah's been working with lasers and craft tech for years and shares reviews, projects, and tutorials to help makers move forward with confidence. She's teaching us how to make an "Acrylic Watermelon Slice Clock" — you'll cut, score, and layer acrylic to build a fun, modern watermelon-themed clock from start to finish, plus pick up her best tips for working with acrylic so you get clean edges and great results every time.
✨ Gwynn Jones (Create with Gwynn) Gwynn Jones is a maker, educator, and creative entrepreneur who believes great projects don't have to be complicated to be impactful. As the owner of Olive + Oak Creative Studio and founder of Gettin' Creative, she teaches laser owners and handmade sellers how to elevate their designs, build confidence, and create pieces people love. Gwynn is teaching "Kinusaiga - Made Simple & Safe" — Kinusaiga is a trendy, fabric-based craft technique, but not all foam used for it is laser-safe. After a lot of testing, Gwynn found an option that's laser-safe, cuts beautifully, and works perfectly as a Kinusaiga base. You'll learn exactly what to use, what to avoid, and how to bring this technique into your own laser projects.
✨ ME! I'll be hosting the day and teaching a session of her own: "Custom Leather & Wood Monogram Bag Tag." You'll layer wood and leather (or faux leather) with an engraved monogram letter on top, and Bail will walk you through designing the scalloped pieces in Illustrator, building seamless layers, prepping your materials, and engraving a detailed floral texture. Swap the wood tone, leather color, or ribbon, and it becomes a totally different look — perfect as a bag tag, a gift tag, or strung together to spell out a name.
✨ Angie Holden (The Country Chic Cottage) Angie is on a mission to prove laser crafting isn't just for the pros — she turns "wait, I can laser THAT?" moments into simple, approachable tutorials. She's teaching "DIY Felt Banner with Any Laser" — you'll learn to cut felt on your laser and turn it into banners for parties, home decor, and more. She's also throwing in a bonus: her Laser Sign Bundle, four SVG sign files (Hello Summer, Home Sweet Home, Fresh Cut Flower Market, and Life is Better at the Barn).
Each session follows the same format: a live, full project walkthrough, then live Q&A with that presenter.
And it's all free to attend.
