  1. If you cannot draw - like me - make use of AI art to design a pumpkin
  2. Use prompts like “single pumpkin, black and white, line drawing, vector, coloring book style, fall, picnic”
  3. Choose your design and import it into Creative Space
  4. Edit image to delete the background, using the Magic Wand
  5. Adjust the size to your liking (mine has 77x70mm)
  6. Add a circle to the canvas. Open the lock to adjust the size (mine has 25.5x38.8mm)
  7. Mark the pumpkin and add an Outline, set it to 2
  8. Place the circle so that it fits the design
  9. Mark the circle and the outline, click Combine → Substract at overlap

Important: Use the new "Processing path" → “By layer” function. You can find this below the Material settings.

 

  1. Move the pumkin to a seperate layer, don't move the design
  2. We want to engrave first, make sure the layers are in correct order 
  3. Adjust the Processing type: You can use your own favorite engraving settings or use mine that are listed above
  4. Do the same with the 2nd layer
  5. Place your wood into the M1 if you haven't done that already
  6. Make use of the Framing function to check, if everything is in place
  7. Press start and wait until the laser is done

It is also possible to make this napkin holder from felt. Settings need to be adjusted though.
