Laser-engraved hex wall tiles
I made this Share a photo of your version.
A set of small hexagon tiles cut and engraved on a laser, each with a simple line pattern of leaves and triangles. Hang them as a light cluster on a wall and add tiles over time.
- Rough size
- About 4 in across each tile
- Wood
- Maple plywood, 1/8 in
Laser: never leave it running, keep an extinguisher in reach, and with an open-frame laser everyone in the room wears eyewear rated for its wavelength. See laser and CNC shop safety.
