Handmade Gifts Scroll Saw Challenge

[Travis]

I bet it's no surprise that this month's scroll saw challenge is about the gifts we made for friends and family.  I always find that handmade gifts are so much more meaningful and appreciated.  Post some pics of some of the cool stuff you're making for gifts this Holiday season.

Happy Holidays!

Since I am a multi-medium crafter not all my ornaments this year are scrollsaw.   Most of these have been mailed out to my ornament swapping friends.

[Jronn65]

I've already posted these, but they all were sent to various people as presents.  I made two of each so every one who received  them didn't complain so all is well!

These were made a few years ago but go up every year

My grandson, Kyler, is always trying to get into our bank. He even pulled a shelf down on himself trying to get to it. He is okay. Well, I decided to make him one for his upcoming birthday (OK, not Christmas but close enough). I also put a little money in it. Now, do I give him the combo or let him try all 1000 combinations? Hmmm.

I cut these 7 Santas to give away as Xmas presents to friends and family.  They were given on Thanks Giving so they could be hung for the month of December.

I also cut 30 of the S. Good 2021 Ornaments.  Pic only shows the first 20.  Some have been given already and some will be given with our annual cookie exchange amoungs the neighbors on Christmass Eve Eve.

 

I also cut this S Good "Santahouse" for a present to ourselves to hang on the front of our home.

Cut this Steve Good heart/gear pattern for my wife and daughter, decided to give them early (lots of family stuff going on).  Haven't really cut much for Christmas this year, in past years I've had a garage full of gifts I scrolled.  Owl/Wonderwoman/Superman trivets, multi-layer dragon scene, and Superman/Wonderwoman pics.

Present for my wife, not yet completed. 12 X 12", papercut pattern cut with a scrollsaw on a 2 stack 1/8" BB. Deciding on the color for the backer and frame.

I like em all, but I have an affinity for the dragons - where did you get that pattern if I may ask?

I like the heart gear.. I may have to go find that myself.  Thanks for saying where you got the pattern.

Do a search on Etsy for "papercut lightbox" (add "dragon" at the end to narrow the search), and get a cooling pad for your credit card.   

 

This one is a WildChild design:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/703892973/dragon-fantasy-lightboxlayered?click_key=7f5a79d442f228edff693d3eaa71f0aa8a4c1ff9%3A703892973&click_sum=af0d3e28&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=papercut+lightbox+dragon&ref=sr_gallery-1-42&organic_search_click=1&sts=1

Do a search for "mechanical heart".

Here's a few things I have made for this Christmas. The first one is my grandson. The others are special requests by friends.

I cut the gear heart as well.  Did you finish the parts separately or after it was assembled?

[barb.j.enders]

I give my nieces and nephews an ornament every year.  This year was Steve Goods initial snowflake.  Did the personalized ornaments for the grandkids and great-nephews and an order from my daughter for her nephews.

Separately.  There's only two stains, though, so I just dumped all of one color into a ziploc bag, poured in some stain, sealed, sloshed around, then removed and dried.  And poured remaining stain back into can.
