3D cardinal ornament template — a beautiful design that captures the symbolic spirit of the cardinal, often seen as a reminder that loved ones are near. This delicate ornament assembles easily into a three dimensional piece perfect for memorial gifts, tree decor, or heartfelt keepsakes.

## Materials used:

-   Ruby Glitter 1/8" acrylic from [COHn Acrylics](https://www.cohnacrylics.com/?bg_ref=IPyQMEnIPw)
    
-   1/4" Maple by Columbia Forest products at [Home Depot](https://go.shopmy.us/p-45996486)
    
-   [Cream chiffon ribbon from Amazon](https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BXNY1C5Q?linkCode=spc&tag=bonniesmit0ef-20&domainId=influencer&asc_contentid=amzn1.ideas.3CB1HL1KKFGNP&th=1)

## Kerf Tips:

-   The material thickness field does not account for your kerf.
    
-   I use a slot sizer to determine the measurement to put here.
    
-   Find a link to the slot sizer below
    
-   To use a slot sizer, simply cut it out of your desired material (I use one for 1/4" thick material, and one for 1/8" thick material - keep them and reuse for all materials this thick!)
    
-   Insert the project material into the slot sizer to find the slot that fits snuggly
    
-   Insert the measurement listed there into the MaterialThickness parameter above.
