You will need

- A Pencil

- Small rectangular piece of wood (I am using basswood)

- And a Carving Knife (I have a FlexCut Carving knife)

Start by going down about an inch (this will be the hat) and make a horizontal line with your pencil. Then make a second diagonal line going down about a quarter of a inch.

Now make a stop cut on the second line, then make a cut up to that line. (disregard the first line)

Go down a little and make a cut this will be the nose. Cut up to that cut make it as deep as you want the nose to be.

Make two cuts one straight out then make one diagonally down.

Draw on the mustache and make a cut down that line. Now make a cut around that to make it look 3D. Now draw on the beard and make a cut. Do that same cutting out around the beard to make it 3D. Now keep removing wood around the beard.

Make a cut above the first cut to make the rim of the hat. Now cut down to that cut. Start cutting down the hat until you are satisfied with it.

I really like how the mini wizards turned out. Hope it worked for you!
