Makes 1 piece
What You Will Need
- Craft Driftwood Pieces
- Large Unfinished Basswood Plaque
- Pencil
- Scroll Saw my favorite is the Rockwell Blade Runner
- Hot Glue and Glue Gun
- Sawtooth Hanger
- Hammer
Instructions
- Start by drawing a rough fish shape onto the plaque with a pencil. This does not have to be perfect.
- Use a scroll saw to cut out your fish shape.
- Then add a sawtooth hanger to the back of your fish. It is best to add this now instead of when your project is finished.
- Start filling in the fish shape with driftwood. Play around with the pieces like a puzzle and just dry fit them onto the cut plaque. You can cut any pieces with the saw to make them fit.
- Then use hot glue to secure each piece of driftwood to the fish shape. You can try an industrial strength glue if you would like. I found that hot glue worked perfectly in my case.
- Then just hang your project on the wall using the sawtooth hanger on the back.
