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:

- Earring hooks.
- Glue.
- Laser engraving process: speed 1.000 | power 100% | 1 pass.
- Laser cutting process: speed 700 | power 100% | 5 passes.
