Chunky Wood Gingerbread Couple

I recently participated in a blogger Secret Santa Gift Exchange and the only catch was to make a holiday gift out of one power tool. This time around my power tool of choice was the jigsaw and I came up with this by using one piece of wood...
Each year my family hosts a gingerbread house decorating party and I thought I would share in the fun and make my Secret Santa recipient this cute little gingerbread couple.
My project started out with one solid wood board...I traced a pattern off of my computer and used it as a stencil on the board. Each measured about 12" tall.







I cut two out with a jigsaw and then stained them, next came the fun part -
decorating.





I sent these to my Secret Santa Blogger Friend. I hope she loves them.
Now to make two more for our Gingerbread House Decorating Party!
