As the holiday season approaches, I've been busy crafting some unique decorations for my customers. This year, I have an exciting custom order for 275 hippopotamus Christmas ornaments made from 1/2-inch black limba wood. The unique texture and rich color of this African wood will make each ornament a standout piece.
To bring my vision to life, I rely on Inkscape, an open-source vector graphics editor that I use on my Linux Mint operating system. Inkscape allows me to create precise patterns that fit the requirements of my project.
I am using half-sheet labels for this project. They fit the six-inch-wide wood, and this approach eliminates the need for messy spray adhesive, allowing me to work more efficiently and help keep my workspace clean.
I spent some time trimming the labels to maximize the wood's use. This practice not only helps me reduce costs but also minimizes waste—a philosophy I strive to incorporate into all my projects.
