Make a fashionable hashtags from tree

With the advent of hashtags on social networks it has become fashionable to make hashtags from wood. They became the highlight of many celebrations, banquets, meetings and other events. People willingly photographed with wooden hashtag and share their photos in popular networks: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and it helps a PR of any event.

Therefore wooden hashtags are very popular products and today I want to share with you how you can make the hashtag or label of plywood with their hands. As an example We do hashtag #yandexzen. For its production, you must have a regular or manual jigsaw jigsaw machine.

First we need to prepare the hashtag template. I used to do it in Photoshop, because there is a sufficiently large choice of fonts and a lot of tools to work (Where to download fonts for Photoshop and how to install them?), But you can also use a plain text editor Word.

Write the inscription, we expose the desired font and size. I advise not to select specific fonts hashtag should be easy to read. It was convenient to cut, we expose the white color for the text and make stroke a thin line of black (can be different) colors. To hashtag could make it possible to put on the stand.

When the template is ready, we print it on a printer and cut the excess paper with scissors.

Then fix the inscription on the plywood and do not forget to drill holes in all the internal elements of the letters. suitable for plywood manufacture hashtag (board) with a thickness of 6 - 10 mm. Generally, the larger will be the hashtag, the thicker need harvesting. The very process of cutting out, I will not describe about it you can read in my previous article:

Furniture for dolls with their own hands

Children pencil holders made of plywood

Just recall that begin to cut costs with internal parts.

When Scrollsaw hashtag on a path to be especially careful and hold his hand the letter that they are not broken out. At work it is better not to hurry and try to cut severely the line, then you do not have to do more then grinding.

After cutting out the hashtag necessarily grind fine sandpaper and remove any burrs.

Set hashtag on the stand. At the end it is possible to paint or varnish. Together with the grinding work took about 2 hours and in the end I get this a hashtag.
