My version of a Trunk Lid mat
 
Only two more steps to go! :twisted:
Choose what color fabric and wrap/mount to board.
Then mount board.
On to the pictures>>>

This took me two hours...the letter took about an hour and a half to do. Can't say that I want to wrapped anything that tedieous ever again.

Not trying to crap on your parade. But if I could offer a little constructive criticism. The "S" looks a little off. Any way to trim it up a little better so the top half and the bottom half look a little more uniform?

those are the letters that I was going for. When they were drawn up they were exactly like those. But when I cut I made a mistake. That mistake is going to stay the way it is. Wrapping it was a pain and I just wanted to be done. Next time I will probably just stick wit painting or something.

Thank you for the critisism though I appreciate it. I have one a couple friends that want one for their cars that I'm going to do. So I'm learning the ropes before doing theirs.

if that is your first try I'll give it an A+, good work! I bet the next ones will look better and you'll want to change yours out by then, maybe not but it looks pretty good!!!

Not my first with upholstery work. But word work yes first time. Much more to come! I have already thought of other changes but I will deal with it later, other projects are being funded. I needed a roto zip or something and it would've turned out much better, the jigsaw was not the easiest for me at least to maneuver. O-well live and learn.

Looks good, and get a rotozip for sure.
