There is a thread in the forum titled 'can you cut WOOD.' There are pictures and inspiration for you there. Also if you have questions you can ask there as well. This will be a monthly swap for 12 months. Each month will have a color theme. The color of the month must be the BASE color of the house. Any other colors used are senders choice. Any theme is senders choice. These houses can be decoupaged, beaded, painted, classy chic, somerset style, you name it. I have also seen them made into fishing shacks, restaurants and saloons. Let you imagination get the best of you. The houses are cut from EITHER a pieces of 2 x 4 or 1x4. Not to be taller than 7". Please use different angle cuts at the roof area so everyone doesn't receive all perfectly cut roofs. (pics on thread) I know I will be placing small hooks on the backs of mine when I receive them to hang on a wall in a row house type design.
Most Home Depot's will cut these for you for a very minimal fee. .10 cents I think? Low down;
But PLEASE, if you don't think you can send out a great quality swap, please don't join. Once Ned cuts all 12 houses for me, I will most likely sit down and do all 12 over a few weekends since I will have all the supplies out anyway. I encourage you to do the same. Sending late will not be tolerated since there is a 12 month time frame to do them in. If this goes well, we will continue this swap but with themed houses next time~ If you have any questions, please address them on the CQ thread. Here are the monthly colors: November-burgundy/maroons Dec-red and or green Jan. White February-red March-green April-flowers (color any) May-shades of LIGHT blue June-shades of purple July- red/white/blue August-yellow September-browns October-orange PS/EDIT I also thought it would be a nice idea for everyone to sign the back of the houses, and put their info on it like an ATC. After all it is a peice of art and it would be nice to remember who it came from.
