Are you the type of person who is intrested in starting a fun hobby around the house that you could potentially make a couple bucks off of? Well this article is for you. I'm going to teach you how I took my dremel tool ( A hand tool that is used for sanding, finishing projects, adding fancy decorations, ect. ) that I have had sitting in the box that it came in for months, and made some intresting sculptures out of wooden planks I had around my house.

            Well to start off you'll need a piece of wood. You want to look for nice smooth wood with no knots or scrapes or damage on the surface. You could find a fallen tree in the woods and cut a plate off of it and sand it up, I find that works quite well if you find a tree that just fallen. Now that you have that you need your dremel tool, if you don't have one they probally sell them at your local hardware store. You will also need access to a computer with a printer. Lastly you'll also need some tape and some sort of magnifying glasses also help to see when your carving, also to protect your eyes from the debris when sculpting.

           Now that you got all your materals it's time to start sculpting. You can start off by going online to a search engine and typing "wood sculpting patterns" into the search bar to find a picture that you feel that is comfortable and not to hard to do for your first time and print that out. You take a pair of siccors and cut the pattern out of the paper leaving about 1 inch of paper from the acual design. Now you take your tape and cover the front of the pattern with tape and about half of an inch off the paper so you can place it on the wooden slab you have ready. Now you can begin sculpting your project! I usally trace the outline then take the tape off and do some touch ups and it looks really nice.

          Thats how I took some of my spare time into a nice productive hobby. I have all sorts of crafts I hung on my walls that I made. You can even sell them to friends if they are good enough. So now that I taught you how to do this, get carvin!
