DIY Fall Leaf Plate Chargers

Fall is a beautiful time of year, and I made some wood leaf plate chargers for my fall table with my new xTool M1 laser cutting machine.

These plate chargers are easy to cut from wood and a great way to add a touch of fall to your tablescape. I love that all I had to do was find the pattern online and import it to the xTool M1 design program. The laser cutter did the rest!

Oh my gosh, I love my new Laser Cutter!

I am the new owner of an xTool M1 laser cutting machine and I love that I am now able to get creative with my newest crafting toy!

But I have learned so much and these cut wood plate chargers were a game changer!

How the xTool M1 Works

The xTool M1 is a laser cutting and engraving machine that uses a high-powered laser to cut through materials like wood, acrylic, and leather. The laser is controlled by software that allows you to create custom designs.

How to Make the Leaf Plate Charger

To use the xTool M1, you first need to create a design in the software. You can find leaf patterns online, or you can create your own. Once you have your design, you need to upload it to the xTool M1 software.

The next step is to select the materials you want to cut. For this project, you will need 1/8″ maple plywood. The xTool M1 can cut through a variety of materials, but it’s important to check the specifications to make sure that the material is compatible with the machine.

Once you have selected your materials, you need to set the cutting parameters. This includes the power, speed, and focus of the laser. The specific settings you need will depend on the material you are cutting and you can find all this in the software program.

Once the cutting parameters are set, you can start the cutting process. The laser will cut through the material according to your design.

I must admit it is kind of addicting to watch the laser while it is cutting. The laser has a protective orange top, so that is why these photos are all tinted.

Once the xTool M1 laser is done cutting, it is time to open up the machine and see what you have made!

Here is my leaf plate charger in three stages. All I did was lift out the pieces to see my finished project!

Once you have cut out the leaf, you can leave it as is or stain or paint the leaf to your desired color.

Of course, I decided to use the natural wood color. I love it!
