This is a pizza paddle I bought at a garage sale for $2 and invested a little bit of time and effort to create something unique. I cut this out on the epilogue laser at TechShop. http://www.techshop.ws/
Draw It Out

Using corel draw and a picture from the internet, I made a sign I thought might look good on the paddle. I had to play with the picture alignment so it would print on the paddle in the right spot.

After figuring out the settings I wanted to use, I aligned the paddle in the laser and printed it out. It took about 45 minutes to raster the whole thing out. I wish the picture was a little clearer when it hangs up, but overall it was a good piece to hang on the wall.
