How to Create Halloween Decorations

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today showing you how to use Proxxon Tools to create an assortment of Halloween Decorations.

I drew the designs on scraps of plywood.

Using the 2 Piece Scroll Saw I cut each piece.

Once I had all the pieces I wanted, I used the Delta Sander to sand each piece.

I used the Bench Drill Press to drill holes in each piece so I could hang them on a tree.

Next, I used Plaid Paints to add color to each piece.

I left the black cat and white ghost as is, but I decorated the Witch's shoe and the Candy Corn with assorted colors of Robin's Nest Dew Drops.

I tied twine to each piece and then hung them on a tree.  

I did use scraps to create these ornaments, but just think how fun they'd be in a variety of sizes, perhaps standing outside your door or fence.

Thanks for stopping by.

How to create Butterfly Wall Art

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today creating butterfly wall art.

Do you have a little girl in your life who loves butterflies?  Here's an easy way to make any number of butterflies for her room.

Draw the design on foam, then use the Hot Wire Cutter to quickly and easily cut out the butterfly.

Paint the butterfly with assorted colors of Plaid paints.  I used lavender for the base.  Once dry, I placed a stencil on top and added purple and blue paints.  Black was added to the antenae.  To finish, I selected an assorted of dew drops from the Robin's Nest to decorate the butterfly.

It looks like she's flying, doesn't it?

How to Create Easter Eggs

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here to show you how to create Easter Eggs with Proxxon Tools.

I started by drawing egg shapes on some scrap plywood I had.

Using the Micro Band Saw, I easily cut an assortment of eggs.  I still have a lot of practicing to do, but I am pleased with how quick I was able to cut the eggs.

I used my newest tool, the Disk Sander, to quickly and easily sanded the eggs. With the speed variations, I could choose how fast (or how slow) I wanted the sander to spin.

Using an assortment of Plaid paints, I painted the eggs.

I also painted some little Easter baskets I had in my stash, then glued the eggs to each basket.

Finally, I added Robin's Nest Dew Drops on the eggs so each egg became very unique.

Then I filled the baskets with raffia and added assorted candies.
