This is exactly what i was looking for. Have a maker and pay for design space monthly but just got a glowforge Aura yesterday. 😊 So excited but also lost lol. Thank you for explaining. Im sure i will be watching this several times.
Appreciate it, facts about doing project in a well ventilated area. I am not nor anyone in my house super sensitive. Just certain things are noticable. be aware of odors before a paint type project.
I watched this on my lunch break. Would love to try these, but I need to upgrade to the Maker. I have an Explore Air 2. I saw the acrylic engraving during Maker Academy so I see a Maker in my future. Thanks for all the great tips.
At the chance of sounding stupid can you use this type of technique can you use the round acrylic and then still use the lights? So you can see it at night or daytime?
I love how you make everything look so easy then when I try to make it its not. Thats why I love to go back and watch your videos over and over to learn. Never to old to learn! Do you think Speedball Screen Printing Ink would work for this project?
I have seen some similar videos that recommend sharpie markers (since they are permanent, and alcohol based inks) Have you (or any of your viewers) tried this? I have both sharpie, and actual alcohol ink markers, and I know they can be cleaned with rubbing alcohol (I use them on my ceramic mandala coasters) but was unsure how they would fare on acrylic engravings.
Which ones didn’t have any orders or at least strong odors? My mom has copd/lung disease. Thank you, I been wondering how to color my engraved keychains.
Love your tutorials! You are a great teacher! Would the color show through if it is mirror engraved on back of the item and I would color it on the back? Also have you tried this color idea on a led light up base? I'm sure that would look quite cool!
Hey Jennifer, I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for all that you teach us! Question I need to know where do I get acrylic and Wood sheets for engraving projects?
Hello from Kent City Michigan. I can't wait to see how Jennifer teaches us how to make these beautiful projects.
I’m from owosoo mi! Hello!
I learn something every time I watch your videos, thanks!!
Glow forge is very colorful.
I have never tried engraving and see some more crafting in my future. Color makes everything better!
Thank you, Jennifer. I will be practicing these steps. You are awesome.

Can't wait to try engraving.
I've used infusible ink sheets for the color part on the metal signs.

Oh Jennifer! You always find a way to do new techniques or enhance old ways! Love your channel!
That was truly amazing!
This is AMAZING! Thank you very much for sharing your talent, you are WONDERFUL!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
Thank you!
Thank you so much! my room is sooooo much cooler now!

I did an engraving of a gingerbread man (oh snap) on a spatula last year. I enjoyed the result. I have got to do this acrylic project soon.😀😀
What material was the spatula?
Excited to try this
Great way to make engraving POP!!
I don't have a maker, but enjoy looking at projects. Some day, I will get a maker to add to my current machines.

Wanna try this some day

Great video! Thank you!
Ordered blanks and can't wait to try out. I have Craf-T paint sets I want to try out on these.
Looks easy and results are beautiful ❤
This looks amazing! Looking forward to making these projects!!
What a fantastic idea! Thus far, I've only used vinyl to make signs like these. But I love to paint, so I'm excited to try some of these techniques!
I'm going to try alcohol markers and seal with resin.
Nice! I hope you post a picture in the Facebook group and let me know how it turned out. facebook.com/groups/cricutcraftersandmakers/
Great tutorial
So excited
At the chance of sounding stupid can you use this type of technique can you use the round acrylic and then still use the lights? So you can see it at night or daytime?
Sure! You just have to test it to see if you like the results! 💕
these are beautiful! could I use the ink if I etched a glass using Etch Armor? Thanks for all your ideas!
Yes, here is my blog post on glass etching: jennifermaker.com/color-glass-etching/ 💕
Love it
They look wonderful great tips! Thank you Jennifer so much!!! Hugs Liz x
Now I’m wondering if this can be done with en Explore Air 2? These would be awesome to make signs for my work.
Only the Maker and Maker 3 have the engraving tool. 💕
I think I want to buy a Glowforge! It comes out somewhat crisper.
It is a big difference!
Luv this!!!
I love how you make everything look so easy then when I try to make it its not. Thats why I love to go back and watch your videos over and over to learn. Never to old to learn! Do you think Speedball Screen Printing Ink would work for this project?
Is it compatible with glass? We have not tested that. Worth a try!
Do you think speedball screen printing ink would work on metal?
i like your video🙂
Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing this!
Why do the Glow Forge items look like they have stronger more vibrant colors?
The engraving is deeper. 💕
I am new to Glowforge. Do you have videos' on this machine? If so, where?
We don't have any tutorials at this time for the Glowforge. Maybe in the future! 💕
Superb!! Which one is better at engraving the Cricut or the Glowforge?
Also if we use Armour etch can we still colour in the same way?
The Glowforge gives a deeper engraving. Here is a blog post that uses Armour Etch and color! jennifermaker.com/color-glass-etching/ 💕
How are anodized aluminum sheets different from the Cricut aluminum sheets? Btw, engraving is something I have wanted to see, so thank you so much!
We did not test the Cricut aluminum sheets but they just have a different finish so should be fine. 💕
Do you have a tutorial on how to make my own engraving svg?
We have Cut Above, our SVG design course. There's more info at JenniferMaker.com/CutAbove
Could you do a mirror image and engrave on the other side so that the side you are viewing is smooth?
We have never tried that. You would need to test it to see if you could see it well enough. 💕
Have you tried mirror imaging and if so did it work?
@@robertcross7337 No, I have not tried it yet.
I have seen some similar videos that recommend sharpie markers (since they are permanent, and alcohol based inks) Have you (or any of your viewers) tried this? I have both sharpie, and actual alcohol ink markers, and I know they can be cleaned with rubbing alcohol (I use them on my ceramic mandala coasters) but was unsure how they would fare on acrylic engravings.
That would be worth a try. You can submit a project request here. 😊 jennifermaker.com/projectrequests/
Can you use acrylic paint with a polycrylic sealer?
Yes, you can seal acrylic paint with that. 😊
Which ones didn’t have any orders or at least strong odors?
My mom has copd/lung disease.
Thank you, I been wondering how to color my engraved keychains.
I did not use a respirator with any of the 3 paint methods. You can check for more details here. jennifermaker.com/color-engraving/
Love your tutorials! You are a great teacher!
Would the color show through if it is mirror engraved on back of the item and I would color it on the back?
Also have you tried this color idea on a led light up base? I'm sure that would look quite cool!
I bet that would look cool! I will have to try that!
Hey Jennifer, I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for all that you teach us! Question I need to know where do I get acrylic and Wood sheets for engraving projects?
In the description for my tutorial I list materials. You can find them at craft store, Amazon and Cricut.
