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:

![How to use Text as a Background Decoration
In this video, we explore how to use engraved text as background decoration on a shape. We use the Tile Repeat and Mask modifiers to create the background text. We also see how to allow adjustments to the final result by extracting various parameters like text spacing, angle, and size. Finally, we add a selection menu that lets us choose between different shapes.
