Goodbye 2016

Happy New Year!

Last night I had a few friends over for a party. We needed to send 2016 out in style, so I knocked up a laser cut 2016 with a stand as a party decoration, and decided we would light it on fire to ring out the old year.

I wanted it to feel substantial so I made the numbers nice and large. I should have taken the time to measure my fire place a little more carefully though, because when the time came the numbers barely fit inside. Along with that, a little overzealous application of lighter fluid by a friend meant that we almost got to call the fire department. But it was a fun and memorable time for all.
