      IN HE FILE? I UPDATED THE TEXT - the last line was wrong! Please download again, if you have the old version!

I was looking for a nice poem for Santa's magic key - I think I found it. I made this design for my shop ... it became a bit big, you can resize... I did not decide how to do it yet :)
    

Instruction

Step1: Engrave and cut

You can keep this size, or make it a bit smaller (I made 3 sizes to decide what I want, but still not sure…). 

Please note that I used these setting with M1 10W machine - if you have stronger machine, you might need to adjust a bit. 

My material is 3mm plywood sheet (pine). I like to keep it clean and natural; you can lasur it with some light color - even before cutting.

 

(I added extra stars to the design, if you want to make it different)

Step2: Sanding

On the 1st picture you can see the black mark on my finger. If you want to avoid that, you should sand the sides, and maybe a bit the front and the back too. Use a light-grip sanding paper to not to harm the design.

(You can also use baby-wipes, that's also working well for black marks)

Add ribbon and the key. 

I used a silk ribbon (that's why I made a wide hole on the top). I bought a pack of antique keys (here), I guess they are working well together.
