Step 7: Assembly
Start by removing the protective foil from the aluminium sheet and glue the pink and red acrylic pieces to the top and bottom edge of the aluminium. Then add the wood components. After that place the TroLase and on top the TroGlass pieces above the cone. At last glue the "Ice Cream" lettering to the marked place on the pink acrylic. Your vintage ice cream sign is now completed.
Why should I use Trotec materials?
This vintage sign tutorial clearly showcases a wide variety of Trotec materials. Our laser engraving and cutting materials are tested by our expert team.
Inspiration
Use different colours or make a series of signs with different motives in the same style. Your only limit is your imagination.
