Information

      This is a coffee pod holder for 12 coffee pods. I thought it would be fun to turn the arrow and under the selected coffee pod would be the inspirational quote of the day.
    

Instruction

Firstly engrave the inspirational words, these can be changed to whatever words you would like.  The cut the base out. The central circle is necessary for using a standoff. Or I have marked a cutout for a hook. If using a hook, a spinner can be bought and stuck on for easy use.

There are test cutouts for you to cut out and glue to make sure the holder fits your coffee pods. The size is set for standard sized coffee pods.

Cut out the middle piece. On the file there is a “T3 score mark. This marks the top of the holder. Once cut out turn it over so that the ”L" is on the bottom and visible for lining up. This layer is then undercoated and spray painted the colour of your choice.

Make sure the paint is thoroughly dry otherwise when removing the surplus gold foil this can remove the paint as well.

Place the foil over the centre of the top piece. Make sure that it is the right way up otherwise the wording won't be straight.

Step5: Glue

Glue the base, middle and top pieces together.

I cut the arrow out of foil on basswood. An easier option would be to ignore the centre cut holes on the three pieces and buy a spinner and glue it in the centre.
