My teenage daughter is obsessed with mustaches… Actually, I’ve seen them everywhere – on t-shirts, duct tape, even shoe laces! I have to admit that they are quite quirky!
I was experimenting with the band saw one day and cut out a cute mustache for her. Since it was so much fun, I’ve become a little obsessed with them myself! So today, I’ll show you how to make one of your very own!
Materials:
- Scrap 2×4 or 4×4 lumber
- Cardstock (for pattern)
- Paint & Sandpaper
Start by cutting a pattern out of the cardstock. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut a perfectly sized mustache without too many curves!
Trace the pattern on the lumber.
Use a band saw or jigsaw to cut out the mustache.
Use a drill press fitted with a Forstner bit and drill a shallow hole to hold a tealight candle if the mustache has been cut out of a 4×4 post. Otherwise, just leave it as is.
Thoroughly sand – start with 100 grit, then 150 grit, then 220 grit. Paint or finish as desired, then sand the edges for a “worn” look.
What do you think? Are you a little obsessed too??
