It's the rebirth of Spring, the season that brings us joy and inspiration to create new projects with OKU Desk, our desktop laser cutter and engraver. A special occasion for producing personalised and creatively decorated projects that captivate your customers.

In this article, we offer you inspiring and straightforward ideas to craft with our laser engraving and cutting technology. Decorative and functional crafts that you can create as personal projects or to boost your customisation business. All made in plywood, a material that is everywhere. Incredibly versatile and useful in the crafts world.

Wooden floral arrangements:
a Spring touch in your home

Flowers are undoubtedly the representative image of this season. Choose your favourite composition and decorate any corner of your home with unique floral arrangements: flowers, stems, branches… Unleash your creative soul and customise your design with laser engraving or painting in complementary colours.

Bring out your creative soul and customise the design with laser engraving or complementary colour painting. Create a monochromatic palette by diluting the paint with water and giving each flower a different touch of colour.

What you need for the floral arrangement:

• 3 mm thick plywood.
• Laser cutting process with OKU Desk: speed 600 | 100% power | 9 passes.
• Acrylic paint.

Personalised labels for home gardening

Basil, mint, oregano, parsley, thyme, bay leaves, mint, rosemary, sage... Aromatic plants that cannot be missing in your kitchen (or your dishes). You no longer need a garden to enjoy their benefits: grow your own fresh herbs at home and add a touch of design to the pots with these labels.

Consider the thickness of the typography you will use in your designs; for this type of project, those with thicker strokes work best.

What you need for the labels:

• 3 mm thick plywood.
• Laser cutting process with OKU Desk: speed 600 | 100% power | 8 passes.
• Acrylic paint.
• Cork or foam as a base for the arrangement (where the flowers are pinned).

Decorative foldable mural for children's rooms

This piece is perfect for adorning a shelf or as a wall border. The rabbit is one of the symbols of renewal after the cold Winter and a perfect figure for your crafts projects. Unleash your imagination and customise the tail with cotton balls, fabric or paint.

For the placement of the hinges, consider how you want your foldable mural to be: if you want it to describe a zigzag, alternate their order between one piece of the mural and another; if you want it to be U-shaped, you should place all the hinges on the same side.

What you need for the mural:

• 3 mm thick plywood.
• Laser cutting process with OKU Desk: speed 600 | 100% power | 8 passes.
• Glue and cotton balls to make the tails.
• Hinges.
