Christmas Wooden Sled Ornament

WOW!
This is a wooden Christmas ornament that I decorated!
I bought the wooden sled at Dollar Tree
& then decorated it with Stampin' Up! supplies.
Isn't it just sooooo cute!
I love the way it turned out!
 
 The wooden sled measures approx. 3 1/2" x 8 1/2".
How did I cut the black & white plaid DSP to go over the sled?
*I laid the sled upside down onto a piece of Basic White card stock
& traced around it to make a pattern.
*I then cut that Basic White pattern out with my scissors 
& used that to trace around- directly onto my black & white plaid DSP.
*I then cut out the black & white plaid DSP with my scissors.
Here is what my pattern looked like.
This photo shows you the one that I traced & then the one that I cut out with scissors.
This is what I used to trace around on the black & white plaid with a pencil
& then cut that out with scissors.
I used my Multi-purpose Liquid Glue to adhere the black & white plaid
onto the wooden sled front.
 
Here are the supplies & measurements.
