Title: Cutting out the 2015 Wreath Christmas Ornament
Post by: no1texan on December 11, 2015, 04:56:15 am

When cutting out the 2015 Wreath Christmas Ornament with date and name, do you cut/run the blade through/around the dark lines just under the top area? When I have done this, I lose the part above with the circle?it breaks off. I am thinking of woodburning in the circles/lines instead of using the blade.

See attached picture.

You could shorten those lines which would give you a stronger bridge but still leave the effect of the berries.

What kepy said.  That looks really fragile.  I'd just leave em out or do the wood burning as you already suggested.

no1texan you shouldn't post these patterns as these are the ones that Steve charges for.

You may not be aware of this.
