Download the free Easter Wreath file.
Place the draftboard in your Glowforge and open the Glowforge homepage on your device.
Click on 'Create a New Design’ on the left of the screen, then click on 'Upload a File’ and select the Easter Wreath file.
Line up the design on the part of the board you want it to cut on. If the board still has the label on it, the software will detect the Glowforge proofgrade material and load the settings for cut. If it doesn’t, click on ‘Unknown Material’ and select medium draft board.
Click on the bottom layer, the one that doesn’t have the main body of the wreath on it.
Select ‘Score’ at the top and then ‘Draft’. This will score the outline of the design details to be painted on.
Click 'Print' and press the flashing button on your Glowforge.
Once the print is finished, remove the board from the machine and remove the mask from all pieces.
Add a coat of white paint to your pieces, this will keep the colours clean and bright.
Paint the colours in using the photo of the finished wreath for colour reference. To make the lighter coral, mix 1 part baby pink with 1 part coral. For the darker blue, mix 1 part turquoise with part pale blue.
When the paint is completely dry, apply glue to the backs of the flowers and glue them to the wreath using the finished photo as a guide for placement.
Then, glue the eggs on top.
