In this video, I walk you through the entire process of designing, cutting, and assembling a custom layered lantern using LightBurn and laser-cut plywood (or acrylic!). Whether you're new to laser cutting or looking for your next seasonal project, this tutorial gives you a complete breakdown—from using MakerCase to prepping in Canva and editing elements in LightBurn. I also share tips for optimizing your cuts, engraving details, and painting techniques that really make this lantern shine.
