MATERIALS LIST (contains my affiliate links):
Here are the exact items I used to make these ornaments in my Amazon shopping list: www.amazon.com/ideas/amzn1.ac...
* Acrylic Blanks 3″ (no more than 2 mm or 1/8″ thick - amzn.to/3nrGnCv
* Painter’s Tape - amzn.to/3lUqJxj
* Scissors - amzn.to/2Finwqb
* Ruler - amzn.to/2DGdf70
* Cricut Standard Grip (or Strong Grip) Cutting Mat - amzn.to/3bA6DTZ
* A way to engrave the acrylic discs (I used the amazing Cricut Maker -- see jennifermaker.com/which-cricu... )
* Design # 258 - My free SVG engraving file (available in my free resource library at jennifermaker.com/library )
Ever since the engraving tool came out for the Cricut Maker this summer, I've been engraving ALL the things. And now that the holidays are upon us, I can't help but engrave some ornaments, too! It's just SO easy now. These simple, beautifully engraved acrylic ornaments are a great way to personalize the perfect gift for your friends and family.
Now, to engrave acrylic, you need the engraving tool, which only works on the Cricut Maker cutting machine at the time I'm making this video. The engraving tool goes into clamp B on your Maker and does all the hard work for you!
It is important that whatever acrylic you use, it's two millimeters or thinner -- that's one eighth inch or less. Any thicker, and it won't fit in your machine.
I'm using three inch acrylic blanks for this project -- get the link to where I found these in my supply list under this video or over on my blog at jennifer maker dot com.
In addition to the engraving tool and acrylic blanks, you'll need some painter's tape to keep your acrylic blank firmly on your mat. And then all you need some ribbon, string, and/or ornament hooks to hang your super cool acrylic ornaments on your tree.
The only other thing you need is a design! You can make your own in Cricut Design Space, or use my free designs. The cool thing about my engraving designs are that I've enhanced them so your engraving tool fills them in and the design is bolder! So let me show you where to get my free designs and then how to use them to engrave your acrylic ornaments!

I'm so thankful you told us how long each ornament could take! I tend to procrastinate!
haha yes!
Oh my gosh! Your videos are so helpful. They totally eliminate the fear of trying something new. I especially like the little tips (like moving the rings to the side) that insure that we create a craft without the grief and cost of finding out as you go! Thank you.
Yay! I'm so glad this was helpful to you!
Thank you for teaching me how to engrave on acrylic. I make ornaments every year for all of my family. I think these will be on the "To Make" next year list.
You are so welcome! That's perfect!
Your right Jennifer, these are great! I'm excited that my engraving tool is under the tree- now only if I can wait till Christmas!
Wonderful!
These are so lovely and would make great gift tags for a special "extra" gift. Thank you Jennifer
Absolutely!!
Loved this tutorial. It was amazing to also the live session earlier today because we all learn about all the materials and can even learn people ask questions about materials related to the project.
Glad it was helpful!
Now another reason to possibly upgrade to a maker!!! Love all your ideas and tips! Thank you for what you do!!!
You are so welcome!
I've been trying to get this to work since last year. You always make it seem easy! Christmas gifts for this year. Thank you
Again, you have THE BEST video tutorials out there! You have considered every question & step a person might ask and you make it all so easy to learn this. Thank you again for sharing all your knowledge with the rest of us! You are The Best!!!
You are so welcome!, Linda! Always happy to help! 😍

I love following your video's I just got the engraving tool, this is my first project on my maker 3, The only thing is this doesn't say 2mm when I went to chose acrylic only 1 mm so no choice. I hope it still works on this one. Thank you for all your help and making it so easy to follow even for older people ( I am 74 and just starting to learn about cricut maker)
Love how the details really show. Now I need a Maker!

I'm going to do lots of them and hang down from the ceiling on a specific part of my home. Also, I'm going to make one for my daughter who married last month with her logo she designed for the wedding. I'm excited. This is my 1st project with my 6m old Cricut Maker. Woohoo!
That's a great idea! Have fun!
These are so cute, I need some of these too give for gifts this year.

These look amazing! I guess it's time to graduate to a Maker, right now I can just admire what you've done! Thanks for the heads up on the amount of time it takes for the Cricut to do it's magic! I would have been very worried!!!
