Step 1: Design Your Button
Fire up your xTool Creative Space and let’s get creative:
- Draw a Circle: This is your button’s canvas, so make sure it matches the size of your blank.
- Add Some Text: Whether it’s a cool quote, a name, or a date, type it out and make it snazzy.
- Curve and Adjust: Fit your text perfectly on the button by adjusting the size and applying a curve.
See how easy it is...
Step 2: Ready, Set, Engrave!
Once your design looks just right, it’s time to tweak the settings for the perfect engrave:
- Power: 50%
- Speed: 160 mm/s
- Passes: 200
With these settings, your xTool is dialed in to delicately engrave without going too deep or too light. Change your software setting to 'engrave', and secure your button blank on the xTool bed using some playdough—this ensures it doesn’t shift while the magic happens. Now, hit that ‘start’ button and watch your custom design come to life!
Step 3: Marvel at Your Masterpiece
Take a moment to enjoy your handiwork—each button is a mini piece of art! Dust it off and it’s ready to wear, gift, or sell.
Selling Your Buttons:
Thinking of turning this into a side hustle? These buttons are great sellers online and at craft fairs. You’ll be surprised at how quick they fly off the shelves!
Conclusion:
Creating personalized buttons with xTool Creative Space is not only fun but also a fantastic way to make some extra cash. Whether you’re spicing up your accessory game or padding your wallet, this project is a creative goldmine.
