Simple Gold DIY Scroll Saw Ornaments

One of my favorite things each year is to make my own ornaments to add to our tree. Last year I created these holiday wood slice ornaments. The year before were the faux suede subway art ornaments. This year I decided to use my scroll saw and favorite spray paint to make some to much my red and gold decorated tree. Here’s how I made these Simple Gold DIY Scroll Saw Ornaments!

SUPPLIES:

• Scrap 1/4″ MDF
• Scroll Saw
• Printed shapes
• Adhesive shelf liner film
• Spray glue
• Gold Spray Paint

Step 1: Apply contact paper

Use your shelf liner paper or contact paper and apply it to the top of the MDF scrap that you are going to cut from. This protects the MDF from the spray glue you will use to attach the design for cutting.

Step 2: Spray glue designs

Use spray glue to adhere the designs to the contact paper so that you can cut them out precisely.

Step 3: Cut shapes apart

Use your scroll saw to cut all the shapes apart.

Step 4: Cut each shape

Cut each shape out. When cutting inner sections, drill small holes in each section then re-insert the blade into each drilled hole for each section then remove it when that small area is cut out.

Step 5: Remove paper and contact paper

Step 6: Lightly sand each shape

Use 220 grit sandpaper to lightly sand each shape on the front and any rough edges.

Step 7: Spray paint

Use a really good metallic gold spray paint and lightly coat the shapes. Do a second coat when it dries.
