Post by: don in brooklin on on December 12, 2011, 02:19:37 pm
Wanted to have place cards for Christmas dinner as we are expecting 19.

Cut and painted individual ornaments for each plus one generic.

Thanks to Steve for the patterns.

Good job Don.

Did you stack cut the outside then individually cut the insides?

Really nice Don!  I did something similar last year, with Steve's patterns, for all the kids in the family.  However, the work you put in painting, really completes these ornaments.  Good job, everytime someone hangs their ornament they will fondly think of you.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

I did not stack cut as I did the insides first so I would have more to hold on to. Doing it again I might figure out a way to do the insides and then have some line up holes to put a few toghether for the outside cut. 

Painting is not normally not my thing, but it was not all that bad as I sprayed on the white,  then over painted the green.  Then I use gold glitter blast and sealed with a spray. It took as long to paint as it did to cut.

The big reason for painting was the LOML wanted it to match the rest of the table and she is right as the staight BB was pretty dull.

Thanks again and I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas. 

Don

PS:  Next year I plan on personalized tent cards that I already have an idea for and I will be able to stack cut.
