This is my passion project called Cardlets! The product is a compact box full of square wooden chips that depict card numbers and suits. It can be used as a deck of cards or a decoration piece.
I wanted to make this product because when the idea came to my mind, I wanted to make it happen as soon as possible because it sounded very cool to me. Secondly, it could introduce me to the trials of entrepreneurship.
The construction of a deck of Cardlets was simple, although there was a lot of prototyping, fine tuning and evaluation.

This is the glowforge laser cutting decals into an acrylic plate. Yes, I have made some boxes out of frosted acrylic to add variety.
Currently, I have made 60 dollars in profits. Right now, I am using materials provided by the school, but I plan to use my own materials. I sell the acrylic set for 15 dollars and the wooden set for 10.
