While the MDF picture frame back (internal frame) is curing we cam move onto the doggies.

We need to prep the MDF blanks for cutting out on the scroll saw.

Trim the silhouette prints and find or cut two pieces of 3mm MDF.

At first I was gluing the silhouette templates directly to the MDF with Glue Stick but soon realised the paper was difficult to remove after cutting si I came up with a neat fix for that.

First lay down masking tape then glue on the templates. After cutting out the whole lot cleanly and easily pulls off the MDF. Tip: after spray painting the MDF silhouette’s and leaving them overnight to dry I noticed I always some lines running across? Rather weird – this was caused by butting the masking tape when laying it down; overlapping a bit got rid of the lines!

With both blanks ready we can…

add some weight to reduce the chance of the paper curling up when cutting.
