I know this question is right up the alley of some of you guys. I want to make some simple wooden cut outs of different figures for my kids and some others. I want them to be flat and I guess a silhouette is the shape I am thinking of for a horse, elephant, and maybe some people shaped like gingerbread men. Simple is what I am going for. How do you all recommend I go about this?
I have been told that it is simple and can be done with simple tools by someone who can see the outline to cut on. I do not want to ask someone to do this for me if it is harder than I am thinking. I am then going to put rods through and connect wheels for them. I will also probably paint them a simple color and then let the kids do the details however they want. I might also cut out felt pieces for the horse barding and baby blankets, I have not decided yet. The idea is for a simple and frugal home made gift. I was planning to use salt dough for the figures, but a friend pointed out how easy the wood might be. Jennifer [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
