🪵 PROJECT OVERVIEW:

• I made many with 1/4" Green Glass Acrylic and some with 1/4" MDF - so you can use wood OR acrylic, or a mix! The initial slot size for the base is 0.2", but you will *always* measure your material with your calipers and adjust the slots to accommodate if needed *prior to cutting.*
• 
  
• I have included my free slot sizer to make that easier for you. Read the README file and watch the tutorial in the listing if you need help using it.
• 
  
• LINE COLORS: All black lines are intended to be cut and red lines are intended to be scored.
• 
  
• You'll add your own text or graphics to each award as needed.
• 
  
• The included base is made to be used as 3 layers, with the top most layer being slightly smaller than the next 2 to give it a more elegant look. The top 2 layers have an identical slot in them that you'll adjust for your material. The bottom layer is just a rectangle and meant to be glued on the bottom.
• 
  
• You also have the option to just use 1 slotted base and omit the other 2, just use 2, or use all three. If you want to just use 1 base, your fit will have to be very tight to avoid needing glue.

MEASUREMENTS:

• Awards average 4" wide x 7.4" tall
• The bases are 5.7" x 1.6"
• Slot size is 0.2" (you will *always* measure your material with calipers and adjust the slot to match your material prior to cutting)

MATERIALS I USED:

• 1/4" Green Glass Acrylic
• 1/4" MDF
• LocTiteGO2 glue
• Rustoleum and Krylon Primer and Spray Paints

AMOUNT OF MATERIAL NEEDED:

• All awards can be made with just 1/3 of a sheet of 11" x 19" material or less, so they are VERY inexpensive to make and you can easily charge $20-$30 each or more.

TIPS:
If you're engraving on clear acrylic, I HIGHLY recommend engraving backwards so that the viewing side is smooth. That makes a much better look for the end user.
