Homemade Christmas Ornaments
"Trash to Treasure - Wood Scroll
Ornaments"
Submitted by Samantha Booker of MS
This ornament was made for my daughter, Lorelai's,
first Christmas. My dad (Bruce Hohlt) made it using a scroll saw and
a wood scrap from a local cabinetry shop. Many of the local shops
allow him to "Dumpster Dive" as we call it, pulling out
scraps that are too small for the company to use, but perfect for
small projects.
You can find scroll saw patterns including the
letters and numbers shown at your local library and simply photocopy
the pattern and use masking tape to affix it to the wood. For this
particular design, place the pattern in such a way that the edges of
the letters are connected to the outer circle. It is sometimes
necessary to drill a small hole in the wood to thread the scroll saw
blade through to begin cutting.
With a little time and ingenuity you can make a
special personalized gift that will last for years to come.
