Creating the Frame
You will need to etch your shape on to the hard side of the design board so you have a line to cut round. The dart board was cut from a design sheet, pin your template to the hard side to stop it shifting around and indent through to give yourself a guide line. I prefer to use the Foam Frames boards, they come in a brown box, the base is slightly more firm and they don’t bend or break like the oasis ones tend to do.
Don’t forget your image will be transposed (round the other way) when you turn the board over. Make sure you allow for this if your shape has a right way round. I use an electric jigsaw to cut out the shape, they’re a really handy tool to have about and are peanuts to buy. Always cut on the hard side of the board as the blade doesn’t go all the way through. Once you’ve sawed round your shape you can slice through the soft oasis part with a thin bladed knife.
Hey presto ........ you have the right shape.
