![How to Make Easter Egg Ornaments with Multiple Layers
In this video we create a personalizable easter egg ornament - just type your name to make your own! We use the Pen Tool with the Mirror Repeat modifier to create decorations. We also learn a trick to apply the usually invisible Treatment modifier to a project. This lets you choose between Weld and Score to create a single cut, or separate pieces if you want to use different materials.
You can use this template as a starting point for your project:
