2022 PROJECT 9…”PRIMITAVE SANTA PULL TOY”

Post by **Howard** » Sat May 21, 2022 7:56 am

Greetings to all...

Here are the patterns and photos of the Primitive Santa Pull Toy that I mentioned at the end of the Primitive Sheep project...go here and scroll through the topic...http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forum ... =10&t=2119

I'll let the Primitive Santa patterns and photos tell the story...except for a few notes...

The inspiration for this pull toy IS NOT MY DESIGN...I saw it on a popular online retail site...the copy said the piece was no longer available...since I DO NOT SELL OR PROFIT FROM PROJECTS, I think is OK to make my version and share the with followers and members of the forum...

I distressed the surfaces of the individual parts by scraping them against a concrete walkway...a few blows of a hammer against a piece of small chain made most of the dings in the wood...

The red, green and brown on the Santa, tree, wheels and base are actually stains made from diluted craft paint...you could use milk paint or chalk paint as another way to age the look...

Edges of the parts were also randomly sanded to allow the wood to show through...

Have fun and stay tuned...

Howard...

Please note...this will probably be the last of the "non-cardboard projects"...I just needed a break from cardboard for a while...
