Easter Bunny Shelf Sitter
Wooden Easter decorations great for sitting on a shelf or desk made with wood and TroGlass. The colors of the TroGlass Pastel are very suitable for the Easter motifs. It can also be combined well with TroGlass Satins. Try different combinations and create a small series according to your taste! Material residues can also be recycled very well.
Preparation
Required material for the large easter bunny motif (approx. 13x10.5cm):
- Plywood 6mm
- TroGlass 3mm, color as desired
- double-sided adhesive tape
Required material for the small easter bunny motif (approx. 10x8cm):
- Plywood 3mm
- TroGlass 3mm, color as desired
- double-sided adhesive tape
Machine used
- Speedy 360
- 80 watts
- 2" lens
- Nozzle with small hole diameter (for wood processing)
- Nozzle with large hole diameter (for processing TroGlass)
- Aluminum cutting grid table (for cutting wood)
- Acrylic Cutting Grid Table (for cutting TroGlass)
The decoration can of course also be produced with another machine of the Speedy series. Adjust the parameter settings according to your machine.
Step by step
Step 1: Import your design
Create your own design or use our template. If you work with transparent TroGlass, please note that the contours shine through the transparent material. Now select the desired motifs from the template according to your ideas. Then send the job to the laser with the settings below.
Print settings:
Process mode | Resolution | Cut line |
---|---|---|
Standard | 500 dpi | none |
Halftone | Others |
---|---|
color | Optimized Geometries, inner geometries first, minimize to job size |
Step 2: Laser process Plywood
Now make the parameter settings. Our suggested parameters may vary depending on the laser machine used and the available laser power. To process the plywood, use the aluminum cutting grid table and the nozzle with the small hole diameter. Cover the rest of the work surface around the material to create a vacuum and provide efficient removal of dust and fumes. Then start the engraving and cutting process.
Laser Parameters:
Color | Process | Power (%) | Speed (%) | ppi/Hz |
---|---|---|---|---|
black | Engrave CO2 | 60 | 100 | Auto 500 ppi |
red (Plywood 3mm) | Cut CO2 | 95 | 1.5 | 1000 |
red (Plywood 6mm) | Cut CO2 | 95 | 0.8 | 1000 |
Passes | Air Assist | Z-Offset | Direction | Advanced |

Step 3: Laser process TroGlass
Now make the parameter settings for the TroGlass. Our suggested parameters may vary depending on the laser machine used and the available laser power. To process the TroGlass, use the acrylic grid support and the nozzle with the large hole diameter. Cover the rest of the working surface around the material to create a vacuum and achieve good suction. Then start the engraving and cutting process.
Laser Parameters:
Color | Process | Power (%) | Speed (%) | ppi/Hz |
---|---|---|---|---|
Red | Cut CO2 | 95 | 0.8 | 20.000 |
Passes | Air Assist | Z-Offset | Direction | Advanced |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | ON | - | - | - |
Step 4: Assembly
After the laser process, remove all cut parts from the laser. If necessary, carefully clean the cut edges with a damp cloth.
- Glue a wooden motif with double-sided adhesive tape edge to edge on one side of the TroGlass element.
- Afterwards still the tail is stuck on suitably.
- Turn the Easter decoration upside down and stick a wood motif on the back. With transparent TroGlass, make sure that the contours shine through.
- Also on the second side the tail is now attached with double-sided adhesive tape. The decoration can be used from both sides!
- The cut-out wooden bunnies can be used as sprinkling decoration. Glue a little tail on one side of these as well.
- Arrange the bunnies into a cheerful and colorful Easter decoration!
Be fully in trend with TroGlass Pastel

Mint is just as popular as pink. TroGlass Pastel also has a high degree of application flexibility thanks to a glossy and a matt side.
Tip: If you cut small holes for hanging in the elements, you can hang the decoration on your Easter shrub!
