After the  article “Paint the Flowers on the Wall” we have had some interest in the pattern to make one of these flower coat hooks.  I made a pattern and some instructions to cut out one of these flower hooks yourself you can download a pdf of the plans by clicking here or on the image below.

Remember to drill the center to 1/2 inch diameter and to glue and pound in a

3 1/2 inch shaker peg as seen in the photo below.flower_pegExploded

Add some hanging hooks to the back and you will have nice flower coat hook.

Toy Saw Pattern and Instructions

Even a kids toolbox is not complete without a good saw.  For filling out that toddler toolbox you can download our pattern and cut one on yourself.

This toy saw can be made from a scrap of 1/4″ plywood or any other 1/4″ thick material you choose.  It consists of three pieces easily cut on a scroll saw.  Click here or on the picture below to downoad a free pdf of the pattern with instructions and then you can follow along with the pictures below to see how I made mine.

You can see in the picture below I cut the three parts of the saw from an 8″ X 10″ piece of scrap 1/4″ plywood.

I then glued and clamped the boards together.  I used Gorilla Wood glue, but any polyurethane wood glue should work fine.  Make sure to remember to use a piece of scrap material under the clamps as to not dent the wood.

Finally I hand sanded the saw to 220 grit.  You can finish the saw with the child safe finish of your choice or you can leave the toy unfinished.

A friend mentioned he needed a pattern to cut out a wooden spoon, so I quickly made one up.  You could use this for a real cooking spoon or you could scale it down and use it for a play spoon.
