Sci-fi character masks for dressing up

What better way to enjoy Halloween than by hiding behind the masks of Frankenstein, Batman and 'meow-licious'?. The most famous monster in literature, the bat superhero or the charming kitty are three unique and easy-to-make designs, offering countless personalisation options with laser cutting.

What you need for the masks:

• 0,5 mm thick EVA foam in purple, green, black and pink.
• Wooden stick for holding masks.
• Laser cutting process: speed 1.000 | power 100% | 1 pass.

As a very lightweight material, EVA foam can shift during the cutting process; to prevent this, simply secure it to the base with a bit of adhesive tape.

If your design requires multiple layers to be adhered together, we recommend using a suitable adhesive for EVA foam –such as silicone-based glues– to minimise any potential damage or corrosion to the material.

Tic-tac-toe: a family entertainment game

This holiday can also be an excuse for a spooky night at home. This Halloween-themed tic-tac-toe is a perfect option to enjoy with friends and loved ones. Made from plywood, an incredibly versatile material in the world of crafts.

What you need for the tic-tac-toe:

• 2 mm thick plywood.
• Wood glue.
• Laser cutting process: speed 6.000 | power 100% | 6 passes.

 

Jack Skellington earrings: the unique style of the Pumpkin King

No Halloween celebration would be complete without a tribute to 'The Nightmare Before Christmas', thanks to these earrings featuring the unmistakable face of the main character from Tim Burton's film.

What you need for the earrings:

• 0,5 mm thick plywood.
• Earring hooks.
• Glue.
• Laser engraving process: speed 1.000 | power 100% | 1 pass.
• Laser cutting process: speed 700 | power 100% | 5 passes.

Keep in mind that for projects combining cutting and engraving, it’s always advisable to start with the engraving process and follow with the cutting afterwards.
