Wood Craft for Autumn - Scroll Saw Project - Busy Squirrel

In the fall, the squirrels are busy collecting a supply of food for the winter. Whether nuts or pine cones, they need to find enough to keep them through the winter.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Instructions:

1. Print out and trace the squirrel pattern onto the pine wood. Print out and trace the bottom piece onto the plywood.
2. Saw out all of the required pieces and sand them smooth.
3. Paint the squirrel terracotta on all sides and let it dry. Use the picture as a reference. When it is dry, dry brush brown and red on the edges and within the body and tail.
4. Paint the eye black. Let it dry and then dot a white spot onto the front of the eye.
5. Paint the bottom piece dark green on all sides and let it dry. Brush dark brown on the edges.
6. Drill a hole from the bottom of the bottom piece and drill a hole into the bottom of the squirrel at the back of his foot. Insert a screw through the bottom piece and screw into the foot to secure him onto the board.
7. Use the hot glue gun to glue moss and the found nuts and pinecones onto the board. If you find a twig with acorns, you can glue this onto this hands. If necessary, glue the acorn bottoms into acorn tops to secure them.
