Apply your pattern using your method of choice to the clean surface of your wood. |We use removable adhesive paper for all our scrolling projects.) No matter which method of pattern application you use, we recommend applying a layer of 2"- to 3"-wide clear packing tape over the entire surface of the pattern. This simple and inexpensive step will lengthen the fife of your blades because if helps keep them cooler during cutting by lubricating them. Do not wrap the tape around to the bottom of your wood because this could make your board(s) uneven and fake your blade out of square. Step 2. We usually stack cut up to six boards of l/8"-fhick birch plyboard for stability, enhanced productivity [and plenty of gift giving!). Kerry affixes double-sided tape to the four corners of each piece of wood, staying clear of the pattern area, and presses the boards together. Step 3. Pre-drill all your holes, and put a starter hole at the end of all the single lines, such as the ones within the hat. Make sure your blade is square, and check your square while scrolling. Cut out all areas of the design. Step 4. When finished cutting, gently pry the boards apart. If you used the adhesive paper, simply peel it off to remove the pcftern. Otherwise, remove the pattern using your method of choice. Apply a coat of clear spray paint to the wood to seal it from fingerprints, marks, and dirt. The clear paint also brings out the natural color and grain of the wood. Step 5.1 used a piece of burgundy material for the backer, but any dcrk Christmas color would be beautiful. Simply cut the fabric to size, spray adhesive onto the back of your project, end carefully position the malerial on the wood. VOlLA! Frame and gift wrap your piece for your favorite Santa collector!
