Finished: Display Case Doors

Mostly pretty simple to make;

  • The box is a gift box from the $2 shop, with a slot cut in the lid and fancy tape applied.
  • The logos are some quick work in Inkscape, printed and cut from glossy paper.
  • The bubble wrap…

…was perforated on the laser cutter! I made a dashed line file, and cut the ~5m length of bubble wrap with littls perforations – just pull and tear, and you get a square of bubble wrap.
Worked great, and was really well received. 🙂
