Laser-Cut Wooden
Easter Eggcup

Step by step guide

We have designed a charming Easter decoration for you: An eggcup made from wood in the shape of an Easter Bunny. The cart is used for holding the egg. We used alder wood for making the eggcup. But it will also work with conventional plywood; ideally use poplar plywood for laser cutting.

Preparation

Required material:

3 mm alder wood or poplar plywood
1 Easter egg

Used Trotec Laser:

Speedy 300
60 watts
1.5 inch lens

Tips:

Use a cutting table. You can thus prevent beam reflections on the back of the material.
