Introduction
In this post, we help you create the Elegance in Wood with Grapevine Flair Laser Cutting Project.
This wine case is crafted from plywood, featuring intricate laser-cut grapevine patterns along its front. The open design allows glimpses of the wine bottle inside, making it functional and decorative. It has a sturdy build with interlocking sides and a handle at the top for easy carrying. Perfect for gifting, it adds a rustic charm and can be reused as a stylish way to present wine at events or celebrations.
The Elegance in Wood with Grapevine Flair laser cutting project is a functional item.
Suitable as a gift for adults.
The project uses 3mm plywood.
It is an an intermediate project, and I estimate the project can be completed in 2 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.

Instructions
1. Prepare the Materials
- Plywood: Choose stains or dyes to be applied after laser cutting to enhance the natural wood texture. I decided to leave the plywood as is.
2. Prepare the Design File
- Download the design file from the source link provided on the project page.
- Unzip the file to access the SVG.
- Load the SVG into your laser cutting software.
- Don't resize the wine box.
3. Set Up the Laser Cutter
- Set the appropriate laser parameters:
- Cut: Specify power and speed for clean cuts.
- For the material-specific settings, refer to your laser cutter’s guidelines.
4. Use the Laser Cutter
- Place your material on the laser bed.
- Run the cutting processes for all required pieces.
5. Following Laser Cutting
- For Plywood: Wipe smoke marks away with a slightly damp rag. Apply the wood stain or dye.
6. Assemble the Layers
- Use appropriate adhesives:
- Wood Glue for plywood - I used something stretchy to wrap around the case.
Congratulations on completing your Elegance in Wood with Grapevine Flair wine case! You can gift it to someone who will admire its beautiful craftsmanship. Don't forget to buy them wine.
