Introduction
In this post, we help you create the Grape Escape: Sleek Wine Holder Laser Cutting Project.
This unique wooden wine case beautifully holds a bottle of wine, making it a perfect gift for special occasions. Crafted from laser-cut wood, the case features a sleek design with flexible slats that fit snugly around the bottle. It’s adorned with colourful paper confetti to add a touch of celebration. This elegant case protects the wine and adds a personalised charm, making it ideal for anniversaries, weddings, or any celebratory event.
The Grape Escape: Sleek Wine Holder 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.
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.
- Score: Specify power and speed to ensure the scoring can be visible once the stain is applied.
- 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 Grape Escape: Sleek Wine Holder! You can gift it to someone who will admire its beautiful craftsmanship. Don't forget to buy them wine.
