Step 3: Post-processing
Pull the decorative band through the two laser-cut holes and put the engraved sign into the frame. Now fix the bank notes on the band. To finish this sample, decorate the frame as you like.
Inspirations
- If you use a frame made from laserable material (e.g. wood, anodized aluminum) you can put a nice design on the frame as well.
- Use dark TroGlass instead of TroLase Metallic. The fiber laser of Speedy flexx creates great effects.
- This sample can also be used for other occasions like birthdays.
