Hi again. Well, Halloween is coming so its time to decorate the door. For this project I chose a black cat. I love how a scrawny old cat will hunch up his back to look all bad.
This project really highlights how easy it is to use the Proxxon scroll saw. There are a lot of zigs and zags in this pattern but it isn't at all difficult. The Proxxon scroll saw makes the tight turns easily.
Supplies:
12 x 12 x 1/4" piece of plywood.
bendable wire
Plaid paints I used black white, red, green and orange
spray adhesive
paper for making a pattern
Equipment:
pliers
Proxxon rotary tool with small drill bit
Now to get started:
The first thing I did was to draw my pattern. I drew it on a piece of paper.
A confident person could draw it directly on the wood. 😛
Next I used some spray adhesive to temporarily stick my pattern onto my wood. It will be secure there until I am finished. This makes it so easy to cut it to the shape I want. Just follow the line. What could be easier?
When that is done I remove the paper. Any stubborn paper can be removed by warming it up a little with a hair dryer.
I was lucky mine came off easy. Now I have a wooden cat silhouette
Sand it all smooth with the Proxxon OZI/E delta sander. It gets all the nooks and crannies easily.
Time to paint:

  Of course, I'm just trying to save the little one's teeth. Ya'll have a fun Halloween. Be safe, I want to see you back here again next time. Carol Thanks to Proxxon, Plaid and Terri |
