Dick heppnerguy That is what I am planning with the Alex Fox Baskets Modified. Going to call them Blessing Baskets. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 What thickness did you use Dick? Looking at the pattern from the site, it says to use 1/4”. The photo you posted looks thicker than that. I’m thinking 1/2-3/4” would make it look “more full”. Also easier to round the edges. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did ask everyone what their favourite colours are and did the scarves in that. I reduced them to about 80%. You can see them here. https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/topic/50761-christmas-stuff/ I ended up doing a variety of colors after I saw your projects and it did make it more interesting for me. Thanks for showing me your snowmen, it was truly helpful. Dick heppnerguy barb.j.enders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love the idea of customizing their scarves for folks that @barb.j.enders did...those were really cute too! That was exactly what I did after I saw her little snowmen. It made them more fun to paint and compare as I finished them all. Dick heppnerguy MarieC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all were approximately 1/2 inch thick. I ended up just gluing the finished and painted pieces together and after that I layed them out on 1/4 in BB Ply and drew around the project with a sharp pencil and sanded the backer board and glued the snowman on it. That made it match perfectly even if my cutting was off a tad. Way faster for me. Dick heppnerguy Gonzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
