Custom Colorful Wooden Race Medals

When it comes to making custom race medals, I love the look of wood—but sometimes I want a little more color than engraving alone can give me! My husband’s company asked me to make some fun medals for their fun run, so I wanted to create fun, colorful medals that matched the personality of the event without making the process overly complicated.

By combining my xTool S1 with my xTool DTF apparel printer, I was able to get the best of both worlds: the natural look of a wooden medal with bright, full-color artwork on the front. And the best part? They were actually really simple to make!

Some of my favorite projects are the ones that turn special memories into something you can actually use and enjoy. After our trip to Alaska, I knew I wanted to do something fun with one of our family photos instead of just letting it sit in my camera roll.

I decided to turn it into a custom photo puzzle, but I wanted to add a little something extra to the design. Using Canva, I created a large ALASKA word cutout along the side of the photo, and I love how it turned out!

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create the word cutout effect in Canva and turn your finished design into a personalized photo puzzle. It’s easier than it looks and would work for vacations, family photos, gifts, or any special memory you want to turn into a keepsake.
