INSTRUCTIONS

1. Customize the Easel file

The Easel file comes with two helmets and four footballs. You can remove the footballs and make the helmets larger or keep all the elements the same.

Import your favorite team logo or add in a name to make custom decorations.

Estimated time: 15 minutes

2. Carve

If you carve with a 1/4" bit, you can carve everything in under an hour. Using a smaller bit will take longer.

You can also do a "2-stage carve:":https://inventables.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012453174-Walkthrough-Tutorial-Two-Stage-Carves-Roughing-and-Detail-Carves- cut the helmets out with a 1/4" bit after engraving your logo or custom designs. with a smaller bit.

P.S. - carving something really detailed? Use a "paint mask":https://www.inventables.com/technologies/adhesive-vinyl-paint-mask to make painting quick and easy!

Estimated time: 60 minutes

3. Paint and admire

These are pretty big cutouts, so it took longer to paint than I thought. The more detailed your designs, the longer it may take to paint.

The :paint mask":https://www.inventables.com/technologies/adhesive-vinyl-paint-mask will definitely make it easier to paint!

Estimated time: 30 minutes
