How to make a faux window

Sharing is caring!

Edited to Add:  See that cute banner UP there? A birthday present from my wonderful daughter. She popped into my account and added it! That sneaky girl! Gotta love her bunches!

I recently saw this window at Susie Harris’ blog. I instantly fell in love with it. However I didn’t think it fit my decor. BUT, that was before I did my fireplace makeover. After gave my fireplace a new outfit, I decided something like this would be perfect for my mantel. You can click on the picture to go to Susie’s site. If you’ve never been there, check it out (later, after you read my post)

The first step was to make a paper pattern. I had specific plans for this faux window so it’s dimensions had to be within a certain scope.
100_6279

This was the first pattern, very similar to Susie’s. However, I decided for my personal preference I wanted the panels to be more of the same size.
100_6276

I went back to the drawing board and tried again. It’s hard to tell the size of this. It is about 14×28.

100_6322
I’m not a very patient person, when I want to start something I have a hard time waiting. See this nice sunshine? Don’t be fooled! It was about 38 degrees with a wind chill about 25. I had this curbed piece of 1/2 inch plywood. It was very difficult to get the paper pattern to lay on the wood due to the wind blowing so hard. Mostly I drew the curving parts and marked the corners.

 100_6325
I have a wonderful metal yardstick that is perfect for these types of projects. I used it to connect the dots.
100_6334
I finished drawing it out on the wood, then I made dots in each of the corners.
100_6336
I used my Black & Decker drill to drill holes in each of the corners.

100_6339
I then used my jigsaw to cut out the square “panes”. I simply put the blade into the holes and sawed from one hole to the next.

I’m not too good with the jigsaw.

Drilling the holes in each of the corners makes it easier…no corners to turn. You can see how this project turned out in my post faux window pt 2

    My favorite feature is the SmartSelect feature – seems so easy to use even I can use it.
    Hope I get a chance.

    Wow! I have my Dad’s very first jigsaw and have been looking for an upgrade. Thanks for doing the research for me — ha! The SmartSelect blade-freeing selector is amazing, as is the illuminated line finder. Thanks, too, for letting us play along.

I just need to get me some googles now…I already have my fractional tape measurer!!! I’d be all set to go with that jigsaw!!! WOO HOO!!

    What a great give-away, thanks for sharing. I love the line-finder feature as well as the easy dial. The pen clip on the cord is such a great idea, I hate searching for my pencil when I am working…and it is hard to always keep it on my ear!

    Oh that is just too cool… I love that line finder… and the magnetic blade storage… and the fact that it can also do angles… and adjustable dial… this is a no brainer for sure…oh heck I just LOVE the whole saw… I am Canadian but can ship it to my BF’s address in New York… hope that is okay.

    PS… Loving your new banner… what a sweet daughter… and hope you have a wonderful birthday.

    Hugs, Deb

    I love everything about this! The linefinder ESPECIALLY, but the magnetic blade storage and adjustable speed just add to the glory. Thanks for the giveaway!!

    I’ve been afraid of a jigsaw because I wasn’t sure how to use all the settings. It looks like this one would solve that problem for me!

    I’ve been shopping for a jigsaw! The B&D has been at the top of my wish list. I think I’d do a happy dance if I won… I’m a follower.

    This tool seems to have everything you need – it puts my 25 year old Black and Decker to shame. What a neat idea with the light but I really love the dial. My saw only turns on and off, nothing special so adding these features to an already great item is wonderful.

    Many happy returns!

    The linefinder light is so cool. The glowing uv looks like it would be so much easier to see than pencil.

    Oooh! I like it when you have a birthday! ; )

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    And I love following your blog.

    I was just reading your post and then thought, hmph, I don’t have a jigsaw, so no use even trying this one.

    Maybe I’ll get lucky? = )

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, what fun. What’s not to like, the line quide, the magnectic blade storage-always looking for blades arrgh. Have to admit though I scrolled right on by looking for your completed project, scrolled up and down in search before I stopped to read about the great give away. Looking forward to seeing your finished project.

    I would LURVE to win this, and I went over to the site to see what it’s all about. I think the line finder and smart select details would make this a great first jigsaw for me 🙂
