Roses are cut from MDF wood and spray painted. Photo by Monica Jones

… wouldn’t be called a rose. It would be called something else. This is basic vocabulary.

These laser-cut roses were a quick way to finish off our kids’ Easter baskets. I spray-painted them, but if you have more time than I did, adding more color would be a nice touch.

The 1/8 inch engineered wood I initially used was flimsy, so I tried 1/8-inch acrylic. It was was better, bit these are still fragile, so don’t expect them to last forever. If my kids really love them, I’ll try 1/4-inch wood.

I bought a subscription to Creative Fabrica in a moment of weakness after I saw the 800th Facebook ad for it, but I have no regrets. Masterwork Tools gets a small commission from sales at Creative Fabrica through the link above, but I discovered we had an affiliate account after I decided to write this blog post. I’ve been using it for personal and commercial projects, since my membership gives me rights to use the designs in my own finished products. If that’s important to you, be sure to read the fine print. Sales rights end if you cancel your membership. You can also pay per design.
