Laser engraving always looked complicated… but after finally getting hands-on with the Creality Falcon A1, I decided to see if a COMPLETE beginner could actually create professional looking projects at home!

In this video I show how I designed and made:

✅ Custom “Hang Some Hope For 2026” Christmas charity decorations
✅ My AAANTON11 acrylic logo placemat
✅ Engraved wooden spanner logo
✅ The basic workflow for beginners
✅ Layer setup, cutting & engraving
✅ A quick screen recorded design tutorial in under 5 minutes

The original charity decorations were professionally made last year, but this time I wanted to learn how to create them myself — making them more original and fully custom.

This is my very first proper experience using a laser engraver, so if you're thinking about getting into laser engraving, acrylic cutting, wood engraving or small business projects, hopefully this helps!

There’s still loads more to come too including:
Rotary attachment projects
More acrylic work
Workshop signs
Custom creations
Production runs
