Napkin Holders

Made these earlier this month in a weekend.

Gather the following:

Tools:

• Sand Paper
• Paint Brushes
• 6 Inch Bar Clamps
• Pencil
• Scroll, Jigsaw, or Bandsaw

Materials:

• Wood (I just used some scrap 3/4in. plywood)
• Acrylic Paint
• Wood Glue
• Sharpies
• A few plastic cups

Figure out what design you want your napkin holder to be and then search for clipart. Once you've found clipart scale it to be about 5" x 5". Print and cut it out.

Trace the template onto your wood.

Cut your design out then repeat it again so you have 2 sides.

Take a 3/4in thick strip of wood and cut it down to one 3in x 1.5in block of wood.

Sand all of your objects and dust them off with a damp rag.

I sketched out the clip art on my wood then painted it. Don't forget to paint the spacer.

Now, i'm pretty bad at painting so I had to go back and outline the details with sharpies.

I forgot to take pictures of this step but all I did was glue the spacer between the walls and clamp it. After that I let it dry and they were finished.

I hope you enjoy making your own! Remember to post a picture of the finished product.

PS. Ignore the screws in the turkey.
