Thank you so much for posting these Dustin! I really appreciate it! My son won’t be at this stage for a while since we are just finishing up our Tiger year, but it will be great to put my DIY skills to the test to make these for our boys when their time comes. Thanks again to you and the original creator for sharing and making them available!

This reminds me of the TV show Louie where his children are very white but his wife is African American, CK mentioned that they auditioned women of every race, and she happened to shine the most, so he didn’t care what significance it had to the

Having trouble downloading a file for the silhouette. Is there a file available I could take to a sign shop and have them do the vinyl for me? Thanks…

An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a co-worker who had been conducting
a little homework on this. And he in fact bought me lunch due
to the fact that I stumbled upon it for him… lol. So allow
me to reword this…. Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanx
for spending some time to discuss this topic here on your blog.

It’s very trouble-free to find out any matter on web as compared to textbooks, as I found this
paragraph at this web site.

I would like to thank Char for originally posting this. I have been making these for the last couple of years for our Webelos. I hope Char is ok with this, but I am going to post a couple of dropbox links for anyone that can’t download the file from the original link:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/z22tnlrgtru0o4i/Arrow%20of%20Light%20-%202%20Arrows.studio3?dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cizigb4b88aad3e/Arrow%20of%20Light.studio?dl=0

The first link is of two arrows on one piece of vinyl; the second was the original file I downloaded from this site. When you click on “Download” dropbox will ask you to either sign in or sign up…you can just click “No thanks, continue to download” and it will then download the file.

The below link is what I adapted this project to be. These plaques are 1x6x30. You can make three plaques from an 8′ 1×6…you can of course do whatever size you want – I put a couple coats of clear-coat on the plaques after putting the Arrow of Light on to give it a more finished look and to help secure the Arrow of Light. I make the arrows myself from the following: 1/4″-3/8″ dowels (I would usually “dirty” them up with stain using a rag with very little stain on it as opposed to actually staining them like in the picture – “dirtying” them up makes them look a little more “authentic”); I ordered the arrow heads off of E-bay…I got a bunch of 25 (we have a lot of Cubs and I knew I’d go through them…down to my last few now) – I use a Dremel to cut out a groove in the end of the dowel and then secured the arrow head with artificial sinew (waxy string) from Hobby Lobby; I got the feathers from Hobby Lobby as well – I sliced the feathers in half then cut them all to the approximate same size and secured them with artificial sinew as well – I later learned that fletching tape made things much easier and quicker, but I would still use the artificial sinew for looks (there are countless videos on YouTube that can show you how to fletch an arrow); since the plaques are so large, I decided to put the Webelos’ names on the arrow with the date so that, if they chose, they could throw out the plaque and just keep the arrow as a long-term memento. I also liked the idea of putting the arrow in line with the Arrow of Light on the plaque. I have seen the arrows with the different colored tape and feathers hanging down…I was too lazy to go that far. Last time I priced these out, it cost me just under $10 a plaque/arrow. If you have to buy stain/clear coat for just a few, it will certainly increase the per item cost.

If the links don’t work, please let me know and I will try to figure out a solution.

I would like to thank Char again for originally posting this idea. Our Webelos have really enjoyed the plaques and I believe it has helped push a few of them to complete their Arrow of Light before moving on to Boy Scouts.

Thanks,

We have done a plaque that is very similar except we have been cutting the Arrow of Light Symbol out of 1/4″ mdf or masonite, painting it yellow and attaching it to a dark blue board. This makes it a nice 3d plaque. We put the hooks that hold the arrow in the arrow on the Arrow of light symbol rather than at the bottom of the board. We haven’t put the boys names on the front of them, but that would be a nice addition. Hand cutting them out of wood is time consuming and hard to get the lines straight, and having them laser cut is expensive. Maybe I’ll have to see if I can find someone locally who could cut the vinyl for less than we can do the wood. We really like the 3d look though. I’d post a picture if I had a way to. What size are you making them? Ours are about 7 3/4″ X 24″ for the blue board.

Alisha and Tara,

If you want to send me an e-mail, I will send you the file I use (I downloaded the original file from here – I remember it being a pain to finally get it).

Is there a better location where I can download this file? This link doesn’t appear to be good and just leads to a lot of adware/malware.

Thank you.
