How to Make the Perfect Mother's Day Plaque

 Honor mom with her own special plaque made using Proxxon MICROMOT tools.

Supplies and Equipment for making the MOM plaque:

• 8" x 4" wood or MDF blank with a thickness of  ¼" to 1"
• MOM Plaque Template
• Acrylic paint, stain, Home Decor wax, etc. for finishing
• Proxxon Bandsaw MBS/E
• Proxxon Scroll Saw DS 460
• Proxxon Cordless Belt Sander BS/A

Instructions:

1. Print the plaque template.
2. Mount the template on your wood blank. Cover one side of the blank with painter's tape. Mist the back side of the pattern with spray adhesive, and mount on the taped blank. The painter's tape makes removal of the pattern easy without leaving any sticky residue.
   
   
   
3. Cut out the template using the bandsaw and scroll saw.
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Use the belt sander to sand the edges of the plaque.
   
   
   
5. Finish as desired. I used FolkArt Home Decor Antique Wax.
   
   
   
6. Present to mom to let her know how special she is.
