Christmas refrigerator magnets - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Cutting Cathy · 10-26-2009, 04:08 AM

Good evening everyone!! Making 2 sets of Henrietta's (Bluebird) fruity refrigerator magnets made me want to do more!! So I thought I would make some Christmas magnets for my co-workers. I went online and found some Christmas coloring pages and stained glass patterns to use. Here is a picture of a few I've been working on. The one on the far right was a wrapped present, but I didn't really care for it once I cut it. It just seemed like it was missing something!! The one to the left of it is mostly shaped. Any ideas or comments on shaping are always appreciated!!! Thanks for looking!!!

There you go again, making some great looking projects.

Cathy,
Those look like they are going to look so cute. I think if you shape the bow on the present on the right, you will like it. I can't wait to see the finished projects.

Well those are going to be wonderful. Your co-wookers will be thrilled.

Ok...Cathy must now officially be taken out of the "beginner" category

Way to go Cathy! Thinking outside the box. Cuttings look great.

I wholeheartedly agree with Janette about taking you out o the beginner category, Cathy. They look loverly. Maybe sanding the bow part a little thinner in the center leaving the bow 'wings' at the level of the box if that makes sense.
