Mom Keychain (Double Sided)

Create this double sided keychain for mom by updating the text. The picture below is showing you the front and back. This template uses a combination of scoring, knock-out cuts, and engraving to achieve this look. See below for tips and tricks!

I use score lines to create definition and make the appearance of the faux stitching detail.

To achieve this, I suggest doing a few test pieces to get the right speed and power. Basically, you want to do a deep score. You want the laser to do more than score the surface, but not actually cut through it. I also like to de-focus the laser so that the beam is a little wider. I highly recommend you test out your laser settings as every laser is different, however here are settings that work for me:

• Glowforge: Speed 225 / Power 95 and manual focus height with .02” added.

• Thunder 100W: Speed 30 / Power 40 and a z-offset -0.3"

For the text on the back, I engraved with masking, painted with acrylic paint or an acrylic paint pen, then removed the masking.

If you are using 3M adhesive, I would apply it to the back of the “front” piece (Best Mama Ever), and nothing on the backside of the back piece (Love).
