This looks like it could rival an officially published, special edition book cover

Could you please go a bit more into detail about the laser? How do you put together a design you know will work for the laser? What materials can you use a laser onto? Is it expensive? Thank you for the video x

Beautiful! How does the gold foiling work?

[@extracozydiy]

I use a hot tip quill that activate the foil and make it adhere to the surface ! It stays over time as well !

[@CanteLizzie]

That is really cool and well done but.... girl.... The 4-Hour Work Week???? 😭

[@extracozydiy]

Hahah ! What ?! I havent read it yet, do you not like it ?

[@CanteLizzie]

@@extracozydiy I've read it. It's real bad 💀 It's basically "deceive your boss into thinking you're doing work and then outsource your actual work to people in 3rd world countries and pay them less so you can pocket the difference. Spend the rest of your time by starting a bunch of side-hustles that scam people." The book is super long for no reason at all and you can tell he wrote it as one of his side-hustle scams. Sure, some people have found value out of it but most of it is morally questionable, done to death by other people trying it, or just random junk he put in as filler to make it longer. There are a lot better books out there that have better advice.
