Abstract: A method for making an image on a base layer includes preparing a substrate, placing an exterior layer on top of the substrate, preparing a cutting mold, cutting the exterior layer with a predetermined shape, and hot pressing the exterior layer on the substrate by the cutting mold. The cutting mold has a body, a cutting edge formed with the body and extending out from the body for cutting a portion of an exterior layer on top of the base layer, a pressing surface formed adjacent to the cutting edge for pressing an outer contour of a remaining portion of the exterior layer onto the base layer, and a space defined immediately adjacent to the pressing surface and having a shape the same as that of the image.
