INSTRUCTIONS

Note: because this locket has very tiny pieces, it is not intended for small children; if you plan on giving it to a child, it is recommended that the pattern be enlarged to an appropriate size to ensure safe play.

Cut the pieces to shape Size the three pieces of wood for the top, center, and bottom of the locket to the dimensions indicated in the Supplies list. Transfer the Santa body pattern (found in Full Size Pattern Section No. 1) to the top piece. Stack the pieces together and secure with masking tape. Make sure that your saw table is square to the blade and then cut the Santa to shape. Remove the masking tape and set both the top and bottom pieces aside.

Mark the area to be cut out of the center section and drill a small hole into the waste area. Cut out according to the pattern.

Glue the bottom to the center section and clamp together. Hint: spring clothespins will work well as clamps here. Be sure to wipe away any glue squeeze-out from clamping.

Transfer the patterns for the tiny interior pieces to the 3/16" solid birch and cut each out. Be sure to place your fingernail on the little pieces just before they are completely cut to keep them from shifting.

PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the wood

Sand all surfaces and seal the two main Santa body pieces. An emery board can be used to remove any fuzzy areas. It is not necessary to seal the small interior pieces. Use a tack cloth to remove dust from all pieces.

Trace the patterns onto tracing paper, then transfer onto the wood using graphite paper. For the interior pieces, it is easier to draw in the patterns freehand (see Figs. 1 to 7 for positioning).

Paint the Santa

Note: while painting, keep the three pieces of locket together and bring
