This is my rough sketch. I wanted to create an awning that could be removable by mounting to the architectural trim |
I started with a wooden oval and traced the outline to make a template. |
then I traced it onto the wood and made two cut outs |
I cut a round dowel to match the length of the awning |
I used a square dowel to brace the front and glued all the parts |
and dry fitted to the front of the store |
I cut soft balsa wood dowels and stacked them on top of each |
other to follow the contour of the sides |
fully assembled awning |
I used this scallop trim and cut it to the length of the front edge |
I then glued and painted the trim |
I took a foam sheet to cover the ends |
and then I covered the front |
and trimmed the excess on the sides I will cover the edges with trim later |
and the top back |
I used bead lace to trim and finish the edges |
I made this smaller one and added wooden dowels and a strip of wood glued over the door or you could use holding wax. |
Hi Jocelyn! Thanks for sharing your awning ideas. :D I'm working on one now. I like how yours extends out from the building. Nice.
