Silly Glasses With Zotebook

Use the Zotebook app to design your own custom silly glasses, then cut them out on a laser or craft cutter.

What You Need:

iPad with the Zotebook app (get the free Zotebook app from the iTunes store, upgrade to print at https://zotebook.io)
Cardboard or construction paper
A laser cutter or craft cutter (I am using a Silhouette Cameo)

The Zotebook app is designed for you to dive right in.

The help button at the bottom has lots of short videos to help you along.

Or for a quick tutorial check out:

The first step for the glasses is to make a box. Use the right angle gesture to straighten it up!

Make circles for the eyes, and just drag into the box to cut out, or draw the circle in the box.

The arms don't have to be perfect.

Recurve is a fun gestures in Zotebook, use it to make a space for your nose.

Silly glasses are a great way to try out the different gestures in Zotebook.

See what you can come up with.

Go to Zotebook.io to cut out your glasses (check you are ready to print by scaling and naming your design).

Go to "Fabricate" to get a pdf file for a laser cutter or,

Choose SVG from the "Sketches" Menu to use the craft cutter.

It's easy to drag the SVG file directly from Zotebook.io to the Silhouette interface.

This project was an idea from Mike, a terrific (and mysterious) engineering student in Colorado.
