DIY Quickies: 3D Poinsettia Flower Using MDF & Scroll Saw

Hey Everyone!

Here is a quick DIY of a 3D flower I made.

I've seen my wood working friends on Instagram make elaborate designs with their scroll saws and have always been curious to how they made them. One day I asked what type of wood they used and was told MDF. Well, I had a few thin MDF boards laying about my shop and decided to give it a go!

I chose a simple design for my first time. I wanted a Christmas flower, so the Poinsettia was a great choice. I wasn't sure how to explain the process, but I did my best. If you have any questions, please let me know.

I used tiny wooden beads for the center of the flower because cutting tiny circles are hard and definitely not same for the fingers. I could have sculpted more details in the petals and leaves but I will save that for next time. If you have a Dremel tool, that would really help in the carving process. Sandpaper and sharp tools will also work as well. If you try this, definitely play with it a bit and see if you can add extra details to make it more realistic.

So if you were a curious on how these are made, now you know and I hope you give it a try! Thank you for being here and thank you for watching!
