Wooden Decoration: Star, Angel, Schwippbogen

Simple to fit into many places. Can be used all year long.

At first, I drew a rough sketch of the arch and its features. I also created the star with a rough drawing. The size and complete shape I drew on the wood I was using and cut out the pieces with a jigsaw by hand.

Because I had a little material left over I decided to create another piece in the shape of an angle.

The star and angle were rather easy because it was only cutting out one piece and then drilling three holes for candles to put in.

For the arch, I needed to add holes to fix the arch bridges on the bottom stand which was going to hold it together. Therefore I used a dowel for quick fixing and then added screws to make it hold entirely.

The last part was to varnish the products with either a grey or clear Lasur. Depending on how strong the color should be I put the varnish on once or twice.
