Build a wooden Santa and Mrs. Claus for your porch. Each one is a single board on a block base, with a painted hat and face, a white hat band, jigsaw-cut arms with mittens and a pom-pom.

Questions
Is anything shipped?
No. You buy a PDF booklet (and for machine projects, the cut files). Nothing is posted to you. The download links appear the moment you pay and are emailed to you as well.
Are the pictures photographs of a finished project?
No. They are rendered previews made from the same design as the plans. Your finished project will vary with your materials, paint and yarn.
Can I print it at home?
Yes. Every booklet is sized for US Letter paper. Print templates at 100% (actual size) and check the 4 in scale bar on the page before you cut.
I lost my download. Can I get it again?
Yes. Your links never expire. Use My library to get a sign-in link by email, or reply to your order email.
What if the file is wrong or will not open?
Email me and I will fix it or refund you. Because these are downloads there are no returns otherwise.
