Molded Acrylic Bracelets

Students use a vector-editing program (like gravit, vectr, or Inkscape) to add designs to etch (or cut out) onto a rectangle sized to fit their wrists, then laser cut the design in ⅛” acrylic. A heat gun or toaster oven is used to heat the acrylic until it is soft enough to bend. A glass bottle or wooden form is used to bend the acrylic around into a bracelet shape.
