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.
