Easy and Profitable 3D LED Night Lights Tutorial with Canva and Lightburn

we took these laser engraved acrylic LED signs to the next level whoops using only canva and we'll show you how we did it right now what is up welcome back do you like to do it Builder to make it so do we and we have new videos each week I'm super excited about this project everybody's doing these laser engraved acrylic LED nightlights but we want to take ours to the next level and still keep it easy so so this week we're going to do a little project in canva trying to keep it easy don't sleep on canva we're going to design an overlay out of MDF that'll go on the front and the back and it'll be illuminated in the middle so it's going to be perfect holiday Decor we're going to do a Halloween one and we're going to do a Christmas one step one we're going to gather all of our supplies we needed the LED light base with the acrylic insert we got these from Amazon we have the link down below we needed some e inch MDF because these are going to be our 3D overlay pieces now you can find all sizes and all kinds of MDF on our website atm.com we needed some paint so that we could paint the MDF so it doesn't look raw we haven't decided on a color yet and you can find our foxy Hughes paints over on our website too then we're going to need some glue to glue the two overlays to the acrylic and we'll be using our all craft glue we'll have a link link to their website this stuff is great when you're gluing to acrylic and that is it step two we're going to create our design over in canva and a question that we get all the time is can I sell my digital files that I've created in canva and can I sell my physical products that I've created in canva join us over on patreon to find out and I'll meet you over in canva here we are in canva I started with a poster size that's landscape for my canvas we'll come over here to elements we'll grab some clip art and Graphics we'll be making two of these we'll make a Halloween and then like a Christmas one so we'll first start by finding a ring we don't want a diamond ring I just want a circle ring and we know it's about 4.8 in so we'll bring it down we'll give ourselves some room we'll say 5 in now I need a front and a back so we'll duplicate this this is my front this is my back and then we'll even leave a space in the middle for the stuff that's going to get engraved on the acrylic now I'm going to make two of these so let's duplicate duplicate and W move this group up now let's start with some Halloween I'll grab some Halloween clip art we go over here to Graphics I've already searched for a bunch of these so that I didn't have to waste your time so we'll grab a spooky house and this will go on the back and then we'll grab some Cemetery this will go on our front now I'll just size this down a little bit just a little bit I just want to capture all these pieces in there looks good let's do that the haunted house now I'm going to use these bats to engra grave on the acrylic we'll put this house in here looks good now I'll leave the bats I'll put the bats in the middle but I can't separate them in canva now we'll do a Christmas one so in front I'm going to want some pine trees we'll size these down a little bit that looks good and then in the back we're going to want a Santa Claus flying with his reindeer so we'll size him down stick him in here it would take them a little bit all right looks good and then in the middle on the acrylic we're going to want some snowflakes so we'll just get some snowflakes that we can put on the acrylic all right that's it looks good right so let's go ahead and download these we'll download them as an VG with a transparent background download now let's hop over to lightburn and we'll finish this design up let's import our design that we just downloaded here we go let's uh zoom in a little bit now we're going to clip all these edges and everything so to do that let's draw a box and we'll duplicate this box with contrl D move this box over this one we'll grab both boxes contrl D to duplicate move these boxes down over here so we're going to trim all of these excess pieces off actually let's move our bats real quick we'll come up we'll ungroup it grab our bats move them over here now let's trim these pieces off since I've already ungrouped this I'm going to grab the outer ring since everything's on group and we'll say duplicate so there's two outer Rings now I'm going to grab the box then I'm going to hold shift and grab the outer ring I'm going to come over here and I'm going to say Boolean subract so I should have a box with a hole in it now so let me move this box there you go box with a hole in it contr Z we'll put it back I'm going to grab this house and then grab the box I just made with the hole and we come back over here to booly and subtract there you go now I want to put it all back together but to do that first I need to grab the outer ring and then the inner ring and since I ungrouped them all it's two different objects so we'll go booly and subtract so now it's all one ring now I'm going to grab this and the house the ring in the house and we'll come over here to bullan Union boom now it's all one piece so I'm going to do the same thing to the rest of the objects but I'm going to set this one here to Red this is going to be my cut layer and then all of these bats and these snowflakes are going to be black for engrave so we'll say fill so we're going to move all of these snowflakes to the black layer to the black layer and the bats are going to the black layer all right and now all of these will go to the red layer for cutting oh two little snowflakes move those to the black layer so I'm going to go ahead and trim these up and we'll come back to cut these out [Music] all I have another good tip for you if you need to move something just a little bit and you're trying to use your arrow keys and it's jumping too far forward or backwards or up and down and if you hold shift it still goes too far and then if you hold control it still goes too far if you hold shift and control you can get some fine-tune movements using your arrow keys all right that looks good now we'll make sure they're all the right size so we'll grab each one make sure it's grouped contrl G and we'll say width is 4.8 I mean 4.7 was pretty good for just guessing in in canva we'll group this one and we'll say 4.8 we'll group this one say 4.8 and I'll group it and say 4.8 now there's a little bit cut off of the bottom so it's 4.8 wide but it's actually 4.4 in tall because of the base so we're going to trim off the bottom right here so I'm going to make a square we'll put this on the blue layer so we can see it and we'll make it 4.4 inches high full line these top I going to make another Square put it up against now I'll grab this backer and this blue square and we'll say subract we'll move this over to this guy we'll line top I'll draw another little box but it up against so I don't draw another box I'm going to make a copy contrl C I'm going to grab the backer this front box and we'll go subtract front drag this box over here we'll do a line top we'll paste our box move it till it snaps grab the trees grab my box subtract front this one's going to be tricky so for this guy do we want a little bottom that goes across the bottom probably just to give it some stability so we'll paste in this little guy here we'll drag this up we'll grab the Santa Claus then this front piece subtract front now I'm going to draw another little box just to give a little base Zoom drag it out all right now we'll grab these two guys and will you item there now it's got a little base we don't need this blue box we can get rid of it all right so we have our Halloween front piece with the Tombstones we have our engraved piece for the middle the acrylic the bats and then we have the haunted house down here we have the trees for the front the engraved snowflakes and then we're cutting out the Santa for the back step three we're going to make all of our Cuts I'm going to bring the 8 in MDF over to the Eon Nova 14 and we're going to cut out our two overlays these are small enough that they can be made in any desktop laser you don't have to have a full size Standalone laser but these are perfect for desktop laser size now we're also going to engrave on the acrylic piece we're going to add a little extra design on the acrylic and that's perfect for a CO2 laser if you have a diode laser gets a little tricky tricky it really isn't me meant for clear acrylic but this it's not necessary it's just a little something EXT extra you know how we like to be a little [Music] extra so the rains burned up when I tried to cut them out I see that now so what I'm going to do is I made a copy over here and I'm just going to grab Santa Claus and I'm going to give him an offset before I clip him so I'm just going to give him a two-point offset outward and select the back guy real quick and we'll say ungroup and now I'll grab this inner inner U line delete okay now I'll grab Santa Claus in this box with the hole in it and we'll clip it [Music] step four now we paint all of our little pieces are cut out our MDF pieces we have our acrylic engraved our other MDF piece I'm going to paint my winter scape with the Santa in this ash Avenger white and I'm going to do mine in purple now I did consider doing it in two colors maybe the front layer in like lime green and the back layer in purple but for this first run I'm just going to do it all in purple so after we got everything cut out we did a little testing in the dark to see how cool they were and they are pretty cool but we found that the back layer kind of got lost with the lighted acrylic so least I think it lays too flat yes so what we're going to do is add a spacer maybe a couple of additional little rings in there once you set the back layer off from the acrylic the acrylic kind of shines and highlights the back layer so Garrett's going to go quickly cut us a little spacer and I'm going to paint the two pieces paint them up I think we need to glitter them up before we glue them oh really make them shine okay maybe we don't even need the spacer if we glitter them I you have to yeah feels like you got Set It Off the yeah all right [Music] step five we're going to bring it all together with a little bit of the glue all craft I did make a qu inch frame so it'll stick off a little bit so we'll go um the eigh inch piece the quarter inch piece the acrylic a quarter inch piece the eighth inch piece we'll just show [Music] you these things turned out great I love them I have so many ideas now like uh maybe I do the whole thing out of acrylic and make it like glitter acrylic or patterned acrylic I don't know sky's the limit I told him as I was gluing this one together if we had done two layers of acrylic I could put some glitter in there and Garrett's like yeah it'll settle to the bottom I was like but not if you do like this so I think there's so many more things that you can do with this so many things I have a ton of ideas now I can make it bigger I could cut shapes out oh yeah I want to make it bigger yeah so many IDE ideas well big thanks to all of our patrons we love you guys that's the best way to support this Channel and we are about out of time I have to go make a bunch more of these designs these were so easy and we will see you next week where we'll do it build it to make it again I needed some music all right what is up welcome back do you like the new maybe don't have it I thought you had it I thought I had it too and then I glitched Oh I thought you going to say something nope hold on what did you say ready uh we just made a new video on step two we're going to make our design we're just going to hop into canva and create our design and a question that we get all the time is can I sh and Sh and that is it
