Travis Posted November 1, 2025 Report Posted November 1, 2025 Halloween is done, and now it's time to deck the halls! We're excited to continue our Scroll Saw Village tradition with our annual e-Book packed with exclusive Christmas ornament patterns. These patterns are designed by our talented SSV members and were even featured in the Holiday 2014 issue of Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts magazine! The best part? You can download this popular e-Book in exchange for a donation to your favorite charity. Our goal is to raise money for worthy causes while giving you some festive ornament patterns to cut! *** But we need your help! *** We need some volunteers to design some ornaments. Each designer will provide 5 patterns (no more, no less) I ask that the designs are not made available anywhere else (this gives value to the e-book) They have to be designed specifically by you (no posting other people's patterns) Designs must be emailed (or PM) to Travis by Wednesday, November 26th (info below) A few things to keep in mind: Religious and secular designs are accepted. Other religions/traditions also celebrate this time of year, so let's not forget them. Keep detail and size appropriate for an ornament. Don't submit copyrighted or licensed patterns. The due date will sneak up on you quicker than you think. Please get them to me ASAP so I have time to work on them. What do you get in exchange? Credit for your design. The warm fuzzy feeling that you're helping others in need. Submitting your ornaments: Email the ornaments directly to Travis (travis [at] scrollsawvillage.com) or PM me. Formats accepted are JPG, PNG. Please keep the pattern in black & white only (no gray). That way I can convert them more easily when putting together the ebook. I prefer Inkscape files (SVG) if you can. This is ideal if you know how to use Inkscape. That way I don't have to manually convert them.
Travis Posted November 1, 2025 Author Report Posted November 1, 2025 So last year, we had 4 designers who contributed 20 new ornament patterns to the Ornaments For Charity ebook (that's 545 patterns total!). This year, I'd like to beat last year's submissions. I know it can be done because we've done it in the past. How great would it be to get 20 or more new ornament patterns in this year's book? All skill levels are welcome. The goal is to create a really cool eBook that will benefit those in need. I'm designing. Who's with me!?
