Step 1
Download the free Autumn Wreath file. Place the draftboard in your Glowforge and open the Glowforge homepage on your device. Click on 'Create a New Design’ on the left of the screen, then click on 'Upload a File’ and select the Autumn Wreath file.

Step 2
Line up the design on the part of the board you want it to cut on. If the board still has the label on it the software will detect the Glowforge proofgrade material and load the settings for cut. If it doesn’t, click on ‘Unknown Material’ and select medium draft board.

Step 3
Click on the second layer, the one that doesn’t have a wreath on it , select ‘Score’ at the top and then ‘Draft’. This will score the outline of the shapes that will be painted different colours.

Step 5
Paint the pieces using the photo of the finished wreath for colour reference. Some colours may need 2 or 3 coats for even coverage.

Step 6
Apply glue to the backs of the berries, acorns and flowers and glue them to the wreath, using the finished photo as a guide for placement.
