And under the biggest red heart the final question "Will you marry me?"

Hearts which comes from your heart.

Have fun to create your own
your Lichtbändiger from germany


Step 1: Design

We made our design with inkscape, because for the lasercut you will need vectorgraphic.


Step 2: Engrave the Top

Now it is time to start the process. We use a 4mm plywood, then the final puzzle is not too thick.

If you don't have access to an lasercutter you can also use your classic jigsaw.



Step 3: Cut Out the Hearts

And then cut out the hearts.



Step 4: Engrave the Inside Text

The same with the bottom.



Step 5: Paint It

For a better looking, we finished it with a glaze.

Step 6: Glue on the Knobs

For a better handling, we glue little knobs on the hearts.

Step 7: Finish the Hearts

The hearts must be red :-) We used an fast drying paint.

Step 8: Glue Top and Bottom Together

Now you can glue the bottom and top plate together, just use a thin film of glue.

Step 9: Fix It

To fix them together we used strong spring clamp, but you can use any kind of weight.

Step 10: Finish

Now it is finished. Your sweetheart can pull out each heart and finally the big heart.

Step 11: Waiting for the Answere

The final question "Will you marry me?" Hope the answer is right.

In our case it was the right one ;-)
