Make a family shield and crest

1. Obtain sufficient exterior grade ply to construct a crest and shield. Each piece may be  say 45 cm square.
 
 

2. Using a piece of string and a pencil, draw a suitable closure to the base of what is to be the shield.
 
 

3. Using tape set out any straight lines. Spray paint each section with suitable tinctures.

4. Using an appropriate template, constructed from cardboard,   use this to spray paint the devices.
