These are 3 layer paw print cutouts I made for the holiday season craft markets.

I first stain, paint or burn the wood with a torch before cutting. 

The cut pieces are then assembled on a backer alternating colours to produce the inverted colour scheme on opposite sides.
You will need 2 faces for each backer to mirror both sides or you can glue 2 layers and make it single-sided and simply paint or engrave the blank side if you like.

The beauty of this project is you can mix and match as many colours as you like! 

Please enjoy and I look forward to any, and all questions and feedback. 

Happy Making and Enjoy the Holidays!
