rdatelle Posted August 18, 2020 Report Posted August 18, 2020 Hi everyone, my Granddaughter asked me if I could make this for her. The name will be (NOVA). I thought a 8 inch circle would be fine. She wants the backer to be yellow and the front to be pink. I thought I would do the leaves green . Not sure what to do with the Owl.Maybe just make that yellow like the letters. Any ideas. Thanks, Ralph TexasDIY and amazingkevin 2 Quote
Foxfold Posted August 18, 2020 Report Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) That should be easy enough without a pattern Ralph. Find a font you like and just cut out the letters, look for an owl silhouette on the internet and away you go. All you need is a printer. If you are going to paint it then use mdf.

Hi Brenda, I don't want to cut each letter and have to glue them on. I want to cut them right out of the wood and put a backer board on it. Quote

These 'Rounds' are incredibly popular amongst the ladies but they are all made with the name and pictures glued on. Quote

I've done plaques for her before with the letters cut out and a backer board on the back. She seems to like that look. Quote

Could you make the change to AVA JANE over 2 lines or just make a new pattern with AVA. Please yourself I am just happy to have a Grand Daughter. Thanks again. Don W EDIT That should be Great Grand Daughter, I seem to have lost the plot here. She is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. Edited March 18, 2021 by don watson Quote

don watson Posted March 20, 2021 Report Posted March 20, 2021 Can I just ask about the painting. I was thinking of painting with Acrylic paint and wanted to know if the wood needs sealed first with sanding sealer/varnish, or is it ok to paint first and then seal with a coat of spray varnish (matte or gloss) ?? take care and stay safe Don W Quote

Acrylics are waterbased and without a sealer it soaks into the wood, it also can bleed. I use a spray varnish. don watson 1 Quote

I have been using 60/40 alcohol shellac as I can't find wax free Zinser sanding sealer since lockdown. I dip the piece. shake and let dry. I then quickly sand with either my mac mop or by hand and the surface real smooth. don watson 1 Quote
don watson Posted March 20, 2021 Report Posted March 20, 2021 OK Brenda, I will seal then when painted I have spray varnish. Quote
don watson Posted March 21, 2021 Report Posted March 21, 2021 Got the first pics of my new Great Grand Daughter. I am really over the moon, they all arrived home today safely and I can't wait to visit safely. Don W Scrappile 1 Quote
