Step 7: Post-processing and assembly

To assemble the parts, first glue the colored acrylic parts on the 5 mm clear acrylic. Make sure that the pieces are exactly positioned above each other. Next, position the 8 mm acrylic part with the engraving inside on the colored parts. By doing this the engraving is protected.

Inspirations

For an even more spectacular individual display for your jewelry, use different shapes, material thicknesses and combinations. If you are using only a few thin acrylic sheets, cut out a base to keep the display stand stable.
