Step 2: Make Your Cuts

- Garrett - 
- Garrett found a Grinch Hand image that he liked and created his own .svg complete with outline border.
- He imported and cut the image on the Inventables - X-Carve CNC machine.  (it's Like a Cricut for wood)


- Kim - 
- Kim first imported the Grinch Hand image into design space.  The black shadow/base image had to be sliced.  The Heavy Chipboard is only 11" x 11".  And the design needed to be 12" tall.
- The .svg image contains layers for each color.  Each layer was cut on it’s appropriate color of vinyl. 
- We also cut the stencils for the quotes. 

Step 3: Paint!

- Garrett - 
- Garrett painted the MDF with Acrylic and Chalk Paints.  He filled in the edging border with blank paint.

Step 6: Add Accents – Create Bows

- Garrett & Kim - 
- We used 4 patterns of 2.5” wired ribbon
- Cut 3 strips of each ribbon at 24”.  Dove tail the ends of each.
- Create a 5” loop and pinch the center.  Twist one of the tails forward so both are facing in the same direction. 
- Stack each ribbon, alternating patterns and loops.
- Secure them all together with 24” of floral wire.  
- Fluff your bow!
