Although CAD and modeling software likes to create complicated geometries, this project exposes the illusion that they are just planes and lines with filters and modifiers applied.Īchieving double curved geometries with building materials is a subject which I will post on shortly. Double curves in this instance are created from tapering sections of cylinders. This project uses 16 segments for each cylindrical section, which scale neatly to fit.

This project demonstrates how double-curved geometries are still difficult to create in the real world. Its a great resource to play with and too good just to go to recycling. Several types of cardboard was used but the best and most forgiving, I found, was the card used as packing material for boxes etc. If you need to make some bean bags to go with your Halloween ghost bean bag toss yard game, try making our simple lavender bean bags (with or without the lavender).It's another example of how 3D models can be exported directly to manufacturing processes. Your ghost is now ready to be pelleted with bean bags. This will prevent the support legs from opening too far. To prevent the hinges from opening too far, screw in 2 eye hooks on the back of the ghost one on the ghost and one on the legs.ĭetermine a sturdy angle for the support legs, and tie the rope to the eye hooks. Nope… but this IS what happened! After backing out the screws, filling the holes, and repainting the front, he was able to move on to the next step 🙂 I heard sounds that I assumed were the result of a drill penetrating a thumb nail. I was in the other room when Tim was screwing in the hinge. Below is a photo of what happens IF your screws are too long. REALITY CHECK: Our crafting life isn’t always as perfect or easy as it may seem in our tutorials. Drill pilot holes, then screw the hinges to the ghost. Position the support legs on the back of the ghost. Drill pilot holes first, then screw the hinges to the legs. We are using this ghost outside and although it will not be stored outside, we do not want it warping because moisture reaches the wood. NOTE: We used the Zinser 123 Primer because it covers EVERYTHING and it creates a barrier that weathers well. Obviously, you can use any design you want, just make sure that the supports do not interfere with the holes for the mouth and eyes. We cut out a “U” shape 14″ x 32″, with the “legs” 2 1/2″ wide by 27″, creating a 5″ base. Drill a hole in the eyes and mouth large enough to fit the saber saw blade in the hole, and cut out the eyes and mouth.Ĭut out the support legs.

Using a saber saw, cut out the outside of the ghost. Since we are using this for a bean bag toss, enlarge the eyes and mouth to accommodate bean bags. Breaking up the image into these smaller blocks and then focusing on drawing one block at a time makes it easier to draw the pattern and keep it in proportion… even if you think you can’t draw 🙂

Now you need to freehand copy what appears in each block of your pattern to the corresponding block on the wood. Drawing the lines with pencil will be fine and it will be easier to cover with paint. NOTE: We drew our lines with permanent marker so it would show up in the photos. Make a copy of the pattern and create a 6×6 grid using 1″ blocks.Ĭreate a 6 x 6 grid on your piece of mdf. Each square will be 8″ x 8″. Find Outdoor Decorative Pillows at lowest price.

Enjoy playing with your Halloween ghost bean bag toss yard game. Instead of a ghost, perhaps you would like to turn our Pumpkin Applique Block into a bean bag toss game. Next week we will share a pattern for yet another set of bean bags especially for Halloween! Most importantly, using this technique, you can take any small image you have and turn it into any size you want. Using the Graphing/Grid technique explained in our post on Enlarging and Reducing Patterns, we easily transformed the small pattern into a large facsimile. Are you having a gathering at your house for Halloween? Why not take one of our Ghostie Applique Blocks and practice enlarging a pattern? We took one of our 6 inch ghost applique blocks and turned it into a 4 foot tall ghost, with cut out eyes and mouth to toss bean bags through.
