Step 7: Post-processing and assembly
To assemble the parts, first glue the colored acrylic parts on the 5 mm clear acrylic. Make sure that the pieces are exactly positioned above each other. Next position the 8 mm acrylic part with the engraving inside on the colored parts. By doing this the engraving is protected.
Inspirations
For an even more individual presentation of your jewelry, use displays in other shapes, material thicknesses and material combinations. If you are using only few thin acrylic sheets, cut a base to let the display stand stable.
