YOU WILL NEED:
12mm plywood or PAR pine
Assorted paintbrushes
Clear polyurethane sealer
Steel hangers and screws
TOOLS:
Jigsaw and narrow-cutting blade, scroll saw or Dremel Moto Saw
Orbital or Random Orbit Sander and 180 / 240-grit sanding pads
The Dremel Moto Saw is ideal for when you need to make accurate, detailed cuts in all types of material.
HERE'S HOW:
1. Draw the shapes for the animals using a pencil. You can obtain images from the web, or you can draw freehand designs.
2. Once you have drawn out the outline, carefully cut out the shapes with a jigsaw or scroll saw. Sand smooth after cutting out.
3. Outline the pencil with an artist's paintbrush and Woodoc gel stain. You don't have to worry about any bleeding - gel stain doesn't do this.
4. Once the design is done, apply 2 to 3 coats of clear polyurethane, let this dry and then attach the coat hangers.
Now the jungle-theme coat hanger is ready to mount on the wall. Use nylon walls plugs and screws to ensure a safe mounting.
