3-D Wall Art or Piggy Bank

I currently really like robots and wanted a robot piggy bank, so I drew up a robot in CorelDRAW and Boxit.  I used it to create a 3-D "box".  Added the details to the "box" and a coin slot or hanging hole.  Those who do not have the program Boxit could just reduce the design and scrollsaw the sides. A box with shorter sides would be good as a wall hanging.

Materials Needed:
CorelDRAW & Boxit Program
1/8" Birch Plywood
Wax Paper (to glue and paint on)
Paint
Sand Paper (220 grit)
Wood Glue
Clamps (May need)

Note: the design may change through the project for I have made a few different designs.  I also photo edited off the last name on some of the designs.

Step 1

I drew a picture of a robot and wanted it to have a lighting bolt heart.

You can draw just about any 2-D shape.  The original area between the legs was too tight for Boxit so I made the legs farther apart.

The different colors are for cutting and engraving on my laser.  I also changed the mouth to look like the robot is smiling in later designs.

I have attached a blank robot file so you can wood burn and scroll saw the design (if you do not have a laser).
