1. From the internet I downloaded my Santa hat and snowflake vectors and created Santa's belt with a rectangle and 2 squares.
2. I wrote HO HO HO, I gave a different size to each letter
   arrange the letters to form my design
3. I added outline, and made 4 rectangles, to fit the design on the base 
4. The rectangles of my base will always be thinner and slightly smaller, for 3mm wood I use 2.7 mm width
5. create the rectangle for the base
6. I forgot to place the flakes before adding the contour, but it can be solved easily, once you position the flakes you add a contour and then merge this with the previous contour and that's it.

After cutting all my pieces I painted them with acrylic paint and brush and acrylic spray paint.

To assemble, first glue the H and then the rest, the green O remains suspended but if you want you can place a small piece of double foam tape on it.
