Information

      This is a fun door hanger for front door or porch to celebrate Winter!  I am submitting this as #ChristmasCreations.  I used three pieces of 12 in X 12 in X 1/8 (3 mm) Basswood.  You can easily use larger wood sheets and increase the size to fit your door.  Our area is a little small, so a smaller one is a little better.  The Final Project measures

The mittens have two engraving settings.  The lines on the wrist and the band should be deeper while the dots should be lighter to provide multiple textures.

Step3: Paint

Paint the pieces as you see fit.  I used Minwax Stain for the Sleigh itself and paint markers for the decorations.  

  • Deep Blue for the mitten colors
  • Light blue for the letters and the snowflakes on the mittens 
  • Glitter White for the dots on the mittens
  • Glitter Blue for the Word Plaque 
  • Sky Blue for the Big Snow flack with glitter white embellishment on the tips with silver overlay.

Step4: Assembly

  1. I used Gorilla Wood Glue and let each section set for about 10-15 minutes.  I also use clamps to help set the piece.
  2. Glue base (three prong base) to the Sleigh Guide with the sleigh guide (semi-circle) toward the top 
  3. Glue the sleigh seat (fence looking piece) to the lower part of the sleigh guide.  
  4. Glue the Mittens with the rope part over the sleigh guide and mittens flanking the sleigh seat.  
  5. Glue “It's Freezin' Season” to the word plaque over the score lines (these are there to help you glue the letters in a level spacing).
  6. Glue the Word Plaque to the middle of the sleigh
  7. Glue the snowflake to the bottom center of the sleigh
