How to Build A Plywood Cutout Figure

Here is she all painted and gussied up! We added all the accessories a girl could need and we named her "Monique" the Accessories Queen. She has her own page on Facebook! www.kafariscarf.com

This view is from the back. We used cut up narrow pieces of wood to strengthen the back. They are randomly placed, then glued and screwed to hold. We painted the entire back black then used outdoor wood sealer on all, front and back.

Here is a silhouette of the figure standing (looking at it from the side view)

This is the back side. We attached a metal piece to the back that has a drilled hole in it. We also drilled a hole into the wooden leg, then used a nail as pin to secure both.

This is a closeup the metal base and attachment piece we had made by a welder. We used a large nail as a pin to secure it. When the pin is removed, the cutout can be taken off the base and stored.

Use a pencil and a large eraser to adjust and perfect your drawing until it's ready to cut out.

Have someone lay down on the plywood and trace around them.

It helps to inspiration! This is my beautiful daughter-in-law Ashley.
