1

Design

Begin by sketching your design on a computer using design software that suits your needs. Have a clear plan of which pieces will come from each type of acrylic glass.
2

Gather

You’ll need three types of acrylic glass: frosted, black, and white. Be sure to measure and order the correct sizes for your design.
3

Cut

Cut each piece of acrylic glass to size using a laser cutter, bandsaw, or even by hand. If you’re working with black acrylic glass, cover it with painter’s tape beforehand to prevent unwanted marks while cutting.
4

Assemble

Use an acrylic-specific adhesive to securely glue the three layers together. Choosing the right glue is crucial to avoid any mishaps later.
5

Create

Craft the stand out of oak using a bandsaw. Once shaped, smooth it down with a file and sandpaper. To personalise it, engrave names or a significant date using a laser engraver - if you have one available.
