DIY some laser cut stained glass! This hand-drawn agave plant stem is ready for your Glowforge projects, or any other laser cutter. This succulent SVG laser cut file download includes both a Glowforge file and a file for other laser cutters with a thinner line. Once completed, you can make your own acrylic stained glass agave plant - pop it in a plant pot and you're ready to go!
DETAILS: The sample you see in the photo was made on a 40W Epilog with a 12x18" bed, using 1/8" thick acrylic. I cut the outline first - the "solder" - and then kerfed the inlays - the "glass" - based on my machine's laser width and shape. Then I cut those out, inserted them into the outline, added a little bit of acrylic glue to make sure they never, ever come out, and voila! A very quick, repeatable kind of "stained glass" artwork which can make a great diy plant lover gift or succulent decor. Cutting size is currently at 10.3" high to 10" high.

SVG FILES: Every download includes instructions, a Glowforge ready file, and a file made for other laser cutters (with a thinner line). Files include an outline layer and an inlays layer. This SVG set includes the outline and inlays on separate SVGs due to size.
BACKGROUND: I am a stained glass artist who creates both artwork and pattern designs, and I started making SVGs of my stained glass patterns after hearing from my clients that they wished there was a different type of stained glass - a safer and lighter kind that was kid-friendly and (mostly) cat-proof. After doing a ton of experimenting, I'm excited to bring these SVGs to you so you can have fun making these stained glass patterns in a medium other than glass. If you do make them and post them on social media, I hope you'll tag @glassyrockarts, @stainedglasslasercut, or use the hashtag #stainedglasslasercut!

I bought this for my friends who are avid hikers. I love the colors and the artistic interpretation of nature. They love it and are in the process of putting it together right now. It’s a great way to wind down with a glass of wine and conversation at the end of the day.
