rjR Posted August 31, 2017 Report Posted August 31, 2017 Just playing around with a blank boot pattern and changing it to be my way. Clearing some of the scraps at the same time. Plywood, some pine and an unknown hardwood too. Painted just to get the nearly empty can off the shelf. Made templates at the same time. The 1/8 plastic makes great scrollsaw templates. Bought "cut-offs" from Tap Plastics at Lynnwood WA. Eventually I will use them all up and then need to buy more. The Cut-offs were economical and they had a large selection too. Even other thicknesses. Eventually I will go back and get some 1/4 to make more cribbage board templates from. jollyred, lawson56, Dave Monk and 2 others 5 Quote
DWSUDEKUM Posted August 31, 2017 Report Posted August 31, 2017 Those look great. How big are they, would they make good ornaments? DW Quote
rjR Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Posted August 31, 2017 The largest is just a touch over 8 inches tall and the smallest one is just 4-1/4. I am going to make 2 more smaller sizes. If you want; then I will scan my templates all to make jpg images. I never thought of them as tree ornaments--GOOD IDEA! THANKS! I had thought of them on key racks, and kids room, horse stall doors, etc. Quote

wombatie Posted August 31, 2017 Report Posted August 31, 2017 There would be a multitude of uses for them, they look great. Well done. Marg Quote
rdatelle Posted August 31, 2017 Report Posted August 31, 2017 Different. They look great. Ornaments would look good. Also key chains with a backer on them and then fill in the cutouts with fema baking clay with all different colors. Quote
