Hello guys. So, this instructable is really easy and will take no time to design and make a candle holder.
We will learn how to make a box and then add some pattern to each side of it then cut it and assemble it using the laser cutter machine.
Lets get started.
Note: This project was made in FABLAB Dhahran by Jafar Alobaid.

For the box design I just used http://www.makercase.com/ to help me generating the template. The dimensions of the box I made is 10x10x10 cm.
Note:
- Make sure to select the right materiel thickness.
- To add the patterns to each side of the box I just this website and downloaded the shape I liked.
- Using inkscape I copied and pasted the shape to each side of the box.
- Attached with this step the design I made.

After cutting all the part by the laser cutter, I used the glue gun to glue all the faces together. Using paper tape will help you a lot during assembly.
