In this lesson, we kick off a unique fall-themed project: a decorative picture frame in the shape of a leaf! 🍁 Using AI-generated design inspiration, we walk through how to turn an image into a working CNC-ready project in Vectric. You'll learn how to import and trace clipart, convert images into usable vectors, prepare your job setup, clean up vectors, plan for toolpath clearance, and even add a custom tenon joint for a stand base. We also dive into enhancing the project with a layered design and V-bit engraved veins for added realism. This is a fun and creative project perfect for seasonal displays or handmade gift ideas!
