Once dry, apply a coat of sealer to the rock and leave it to dry fully.
I discovered this handy tip after engraving the rock and you might see areas the paint bled over.
Connect Creative Space app to machine and hit create project.
Import Image Dad, You Are Our Rock or other SVG file you wish to use.
Apply painters tape to the surface of the rock.
Press tape down firmly.

Select curved material mode in the Creative Space software and then hit curve- measure button.
Once measured, size the design to fit within the square shown on the canvas.
This square or rectangular shape is the area of the rock to be engraved.
In our case, we found 45% power with 20mm/s and 1 pass the ideal setting.
Remove when engraving is complete.
Blow away some of the fine dust on the surface of the rock.

Leave to dry, then peel away the painters tape.
Use an awl or pin to peel away the smaller areas of the engraving.
And voila, the engraved rocks are complete!
Pin it for later!
