Spring into Fabric Laser Art!



Get in the mood for spring by decorating your table with laser cut butterfly napkin rings and flower cutlery bags! With these cheery table top decorations the spring mood will stay in your home... Even during rainy days!

Materials Needed:
4mm polyester felt in two colors


Machines possible:
Speedy 100, Speedy 300, Speedy 400, Speedy 500



Machine used:
Speedy 400, 40 watts



Step 1
Open the file "Spring" in your favorite graphics program and send it to the laser. Laser parameters may vary depending on the machine used and the laser power available... The seetings below are for a 40W Trotec laser system. 


Black Lines (engraving)
Power: 60 %, Speed: 50 %, Resolution: 500 dpi, air assist on 


Red Lines (cutting):
Power: 60 %, Speed 1.1 %, Frequency 1000 Hz, air assist on, correction 20


Step 2
Assemble the parts. The table decoration is designed to fit perfectly without adhesive.

Tips:

  • Use a 1.5 inch lens. 
  • We suggest using polyester felt for clean cutting edges and great engraving results. 
  • Using a honeycomb table prevents the felt rub off on the processing table.
