Step-by-step Instructions
Step 1
Cut out animal shapes from PDF printouts. Jaime has a very clever technique - check her tutorial out here. Racoon PDF Deer PDF Fox PDF Then cut the 1x2 pieces and glue together as directed in the diagram above.
Step 2
Place the animal shapes over the 1x2 pieces, and predrill holes through eyes into the back plywood and 1x2. Attach with screws 1-1/2" long. To hang, the back board is 26" long - so the 1x2 will reach between 2 studs.
Finishing
Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
