Holiday Yard Accent

Finished Size: Approximately 4' x 2-1/2'

Grid: 1"= 6"

Woodworking: Festive & Fun

Here's an easy woodworking project to

help put you in the holiday spirit.

Directions:

1. Select a 4'x8' sheet of GP Plytanium BC Plywood; we recommend a 19/32" thickness for

sturdiness and durability.

2. Enlarge the pattern to the actual size by redrawing on large paper or grid paper. Or, take this

pattern to a copy service and ask for a 6X enlargement.

3. Transfer the full-sized patterns onto the plywood. Use pushpins or tape to fasten the full-sized

pattern onto the plywood. Insert carbon paper or transfer paper under the pattern, and trace

the pattern with a ballpoint pen or carpenter’s pencil. An outline of the sleigh will be created

on the wood.

4. Use a jigsaw with a plywood-cutting blade to cut the shape from the plywood. Support the

pieces on sawhorses for easier cutting. Sand the edges with sandpaper or an electric sander.

5. To display the sleigh in an upright position, you’ll need a supporting strip of lumber or

plywood cut to 3 feet in length, approximately 2" wide. Center the strip on the reverse side of

the cutout at a point 3 feet from the base and attach with a 3" strap hinge with 1/2" screws.

6. Choose your favorite colors of water-based latex paint to decorate your sleigh and protect the

plywood material. Apply several coats of primer, then paint the sleigh. Be sure to paint the

plywood edges to prevent moisture from penetrating the plywood edges.

7. After the paint dries thoroughly, your sleigh is ready to display and enjoy! When your yard

decoration is not in use, you’ll want to store it in a dry, protected location for next season.
