As I have gotten older, fall has become one of my most favorite times of the year and this engraved Happy Fall Pumpkin canvas sign is perfect for a little pop of decor in any space!

As most of you know, I am obsessed with my Glowforge Pro. I’ve found it great that I can engrave, cut or score lots of different items. I mean, come on….who would have thought that you can use a laser to engrave on canvas?! It is amazing!

Materials used:

• Glowforge Pro (it can be any Glowforge model)
• Computer with Glowforge software
• Mix the Media Canvas Sign from Hampton Art
• Illustrator or any design program
• Pumpkin SVG (I purchased this one on Etsy)

How I made it!

First, I created my file in Illustrator using a font that I have and a pumpkin svg file that I purchased on Etsy.

I placed the canvas in my Glowforge Pro, adjusting as needed. I had to remove the Glowforge crumb tray and stack some scrap wood to allow for the height.

I then inserted my file into the Glowforge web based software, got everything lined up and set the appropriate settings for engraving on Canvas. TIP: When engraving on things other than wood, you either must research or do trial and error. I’ve done canvas before so I kind of knew what settings to use.

Settings:

• Speed: 1000
• Power: 15
• LPI: 270

Then I hit the magic button for it to engrave!

After it was done engraving, it was ready to hang. TIP: The kids could also color it!!!
