Laser-Cut Pumpkin Decoration

Get into the Halloween spirit with this adorable Pumpkin decoration! Great for hanging in a window, on the wall, by your desk, and more. Fun for people of all ages!


Stay simple and just laser-cut it or add some color with paint or spice it up and add glowing LED eyes! I love laser-cutting and Halloween and found the best of both worlds with this project!

Supplies

General:

  • 1/8" Baltic Birch Plywood (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0842C343G?th=1 or https://www.etsy.com/listing/682991903/24-pieces-11x195-glowforge-sized-18-3mm)
  • 1/4" Satin Ribbon (https://www.etsy.com/listing/267812472/25-yard-satin-ribbon-rolls-in-24-colors , or stores like Michaels, Joann's, and Amazon will also have it)
  • Scissors


For Painting:

  • Crayola Washable Paint
  • Assorted Size Small Paint Brushes
  • I purchased them at the Dollar Tree. Other options include Michaels, Joann's, and Amazon.


For Electronics:

  • 5mm LEDs (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XPV4CSH/)
  • CR2032 3V Coin Batteries (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KXYCR7L/)
  • Tape - (This is the closest I could find to what I used: https://www.amazon.com/Dorm-Tape-Mavalus-324-Pack/dp/B01HU9PZUI , or try Michaels, Joann's, or Amazon. Look for 1" tape such as painters tape or poster tape.)
