5 Christmas Presents You Can Make With Your @xToollaser F1 Ultra

I make five simple Christmas gifts on the xTool F1 Ultra, from leatherette ornaments to slate coasters, so you can see how each one comes together.

I wanted to show a handful of Christmas projects that are actually doable on the xTool F1 Ultra: leatherette ornaments, wood keychains, metal wallets, stainless steel necklaces and slate coasters.

For the artwork, I pulled graphic files from Creative Fabrica, and a few from Etsy, then brought them into xTool Creative Space. I walk through releasing compound vectors and ungrouping things so the design does what you want before you engrave it.

On the slate coasters, I tried Smart Processing in Creative Space and compared it against standard processing, because the speed difference was worth seeing for yourself.

What I like about these is how easy they are to personalize on demand. One laser handles wood, leatherette, metal and slate, so you can make something a little different for each person on your list.
