INSTRUCTIONS

All designs can be resized within reason – we’ve designed our earring files to be flexible within about a 1/4 “ larger or
smaller. Resizing too much will affect the design clarity as well as the hole for findings. To eliminate the need for jump
rings we use ear wires with pinch bails – you can find them here  https://amzn.to/40fH6Ym

We do not recommend resizing items that have tabs such as boxes, stands, etc. unless you are comfortable with
manually resizing the tabs and slots.

FINISHING
For our earring files we typically stain the earrings, then apply a dry brushed layer of acrylic paint. Once the acrylic paint
is dry we then paint in detail areas with acrylic paint pens or gel pens. Once completely dry we seal with 2 coats of a
clear acrylic sealer.

GENERAL TIPS FOR CUTTING OUR DESIGNS WITH YOUR LASER CUTTER/ENGRAVER

The material I’ve used for earring files is 1/8″ birch plywood. You could use any 1/8″ or 1/4″ material you prefer, including acrylic.

** If this file requires personalization – Find a font you like from your personal font library for the personalized name area – I prefer using Creative Fabrica for my font purchases – https://tinylinks.info/CF-FONTS Remember to make sure the font you’ve chosen has a commercial license if you’ll be selling your finished items.

COLOR KEY & SIZING

You can feel free to change the black engrave lines as you want. If changing black lines to score you will have double
lines when scoring.

• RED LINES – CUT
• BLUE LINES – SCORE/LINE
• BLACK LINES – ENGRAVE
