Introduction
In this post, we help you create the Easter Wonderland Egg Laser Cutting Project.
This layered wooden Easter egg scene brings charm and whimsy to seasonal décor. The project features colourful layers depicting a festive scene with bunnies, a basket, and a playful fairy under tree branches. Perfect as a gift or a home accent, users can download design files and follow instructions to create enchanting pieces. This Easter-themed project is a fun way to bring personalised creativity into celebrations.
The Easter Wonderland Egg laser cutting project is a desktop art.
Suitable as a gift for children.
The project uses 3mm plywood.
It is an an intermediate project, and I estimate the project can be completed in 3 hours. However, your completion time will depend on the laser cutter, the dimensions of the project and your skill level. If you think my time estimates need adjustment, please feel free to let me know via a comment below.
The free design can be downloaded here. (please notify me if the link is down)
