    Hiiii ! I just bought a glow forge , I’m curious of the reason why you engraved the back side? Is it because it may be dangerous to engrave the front since it’s kinda a mirror ? Could you cover the front in the masking tape and engrave the front ?

    • @LisaPottsDesigns
      @LisaPottsDesigns  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Michelle! No specific reason, many people engrave on the front. I liked the look of the name "inside" the acrylic, rather than it sitting on top with the mirror effect. You could 100% engrave the front, just make sure to mask!

      Jump rings are really pretty easy...take 2 flatnose pliers and hold your jump ring one each side of the split with your pliers. Twist in opposite directions...one toward you one away from you. When ready to close it up just do the opposite. Do not pull it apart...it’s more of a twisting motion. Hope this helps 😊

    • @LisaPottsDesigns
      @LisaPottsDesigns  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I wanted the name to be a bit darker. When you engrave the backside, it takes the mirror reflection from the name. Both sides have their benefits, so I suggest doing tiny test cuts to find your preference. 🥰

      Good question! I buy the sheets for $15 a piece and each keychain is about 4 inches, so it costs me a little under .30 a keychain in acrylic. After that, the hardware is about .50 a piece (more or less depending on distributor and sales).

    One last question ... I am very new to Silhouette Studio, so forgive me if this is common knowledge. LOL. Is there a way to save this design as a template or is it necessary to create each name from scratch? Thanks again for your amazing tutorials. Absolutely the BEST out there. IMO. XOXO

    • @LisaPottsDesigns
      @LisaPottsDesigns  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes and no. What I do for myself is set up the bulk of the design and save it as a .studio file before welding anything! If you are doing a specific distance for the offset, I write that as a note using the notepad feature.
