Lesson learned

[GPscroller]

Found this pattern on Pinterest and really liked it, decided to cut it on a plaque that I had laying around.  Stuck the pattern on top of the plastic wrap, figuring it would make removing the pattern a dream.  That part went well.  What I did not anticipate was the pattern bouncing while cutting because it was on the plastic, not the wood  Thank goodness for tape and finger nails.  Lesson learned, will use Press and Seal wrap next time AFTER I remove the plastic.

This was a plaque that you had purchased and it was in some type of 

plastic shrink wrap?

Yes, should have removed the shrink wrap first.

Awesome job!

 

I've started covering the wood in strips of blue painter's tape, then taking my pattern and spraying Super77 spray adhesive on the back and sticking it to the tape.  Tape peels up easily, especially if I overlap the strips enough and remember which direction it was laid down in the first place...:)  I've read elsewhere where folks use clear packing tape for the same purpose, apparently the silicone in the packing tape also lubricates the blades while cutting?  Haven't tried that yet.
