DIY Butterfly Jacket With a Laser Engraver | IKIER FLEX 7W Beginner Tutorial

This video is sponsored by IKIER.

Today I’m putting the IKIER FLEX 7W laser engraver to the test while turning a plain green corduroy jacket into a completely customized piece! I used the FLEX 7W to create laser-cut purple butterfly details, engrave my own “Miz Angela Sawyer” leather branding label, and cut a custom cardstock hang tag.

The IKIER FLEX 7W is a compact, fully enclosed desktop laser engraver designed with beginners, DIY creators, craft vendors, home studios, and small handmade businesses in mind. Its smaller size makes it especially useful for creating individual components, personalized products, branding pieces, tags, accessories, gifts, and other projects that can become part of a larger finished design.

In this project I show how smaller laser-cut and engraved pieces can be combined to customize something much larger than the machine’s working area — in this case, an entire jacket.

MATERIALS:

According to IKIER’s product information and testing specifications, the FLEX 7W can work with a variety of materials including wood, leather, faux leather, fabric, denim, craft paper, cardstock, coated metal, anodized aluminum, stone, ceramic tile, glass, dark opaque acrylic, coated surfaces, and more. Results and settings will vary depending on the exact material, thickness, finish, and project, so always test your material first.

In this video I use the FLEX 7W for three different parts of one finished product:

🏷️ An engraved leather Miz Angela Sawyer branding label
💜 A custom-cut cardstock hang tag

One of the things I especially wanted to explore was how a compact laser engraver could be useful for someone creating products to sell. Digital designs can be resized and reused, making it possible to create repeatable decorative elements, personalized products, branding labels, product tags, gifts, accessories, clothing details, and other handmade items without recreating every design from scratch.

For anyone considering using a laser engraver as part of a handmade or small business, remember to keep track of your material costs, processing time, assembly time, and selling price so you know what each finished product actually costs you to make.

Always follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions and recommended settings for your particular material. Laser performance can vary from one material to another, so testing scrap material before working on your final project is always a good idea.
