Whether you want to make cool, personalized gifts, start a small business that sells unique goods, or just want a machine to mess around with, the possibilities for glass engraving are endless.
Read on for some of the coolest glass laser engraving projects and get inspired.
Wine and pint glasses
This is one of the most common projects that use a glass engraving machine, but it doesn't make it any less cool. Engraved wine glasses are ideal as a wedding or anniversary gift. You can easily handle names or initials, or use unique designs. Engraved pint glasses are great gifts for the beer lovers in your life. They are also a great marketing tool. Whether you own a bar or brewery or just want to get your name out there, custom pint glasses will always arouse the interest of potential customers.
Shadow boxes
Shadow boxes are a fun way to showcase your collection of small items. Whether it's bottle caps, rare coins, or small stones, if you invest time in collecting, you should invest time to keep it looking good. A laser engraver can add cool designs to the front of the shadow box, and you can make them unique for each collection.
Kitchen storage jars
Everyone loves to keep things for the kitchen in mason jars. But what's cooler than a mason jar full of spices? A mason jar full of spices that is individually labeled. Whether you want to engrave the name of everything stored in it, label it with a cool picture, or simply personalize the glasses with your name, custom mason jars will burst your kitchen shelf.
Shot glasses
Similar to wine glasses and pint glasses, an individual shot glass is a cool project with many useful results. Customized shot glasses are a popular souvenir for visitors to a new location. If you own a bar, gift shop, or even a market in a unique area, making custom shot glasses is a great way to make extra money. Shot glasses are always a great gift for birthdays, weddings or company outings.
Coasters
With all of the unique glassware you spend, you need something fun to put on. Glass coasters can be customized using a glass engraving machine and can even be customized along with pint glasses and shot glasses to create an entire set.
