How Do You Make Toy Horse Jumps From Balsa Wood & Dowels?
Making your own miniature horse jumps will make wonderful gifts for any horse enthusiast, and they can be a great addition to any toy horse collection. Creating these miniature jumps is not difficult, and the materials required to complete the jumps are not expensive. Decide how big you want to make your jumps. You may want to make several different sizes and arrange the finished products in new and interesting ways each time. The longer you cut your pieces of balsa wood, the taller the jumps will be. Cut your balsa wood into strips using the X-Acto knife, then measure the middle of each piece. Use the hot glue gun to place a drop of glue on one of the pieces, then attach the other piece so that it forms a cross. Cut two more pieces of balsa wood to the same length and use the hot glue gun to glue them together and form a cross. Place the two cross pieces on a stable surface and determine how long you want your jump to be. Measure the distance you want to have between the two cross pie
