I am looking for a jack shape. From the game of jacks. The classic one played with a ball. I can't find one anywhere! I tried to turn an actual picture of one into an svg file - but ended up with WAY too many lines. I am using the shape (if I cam find one) as a stencil for a nursery rug. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!! Or if someone can point me in the direction of someone whom I can pay to design a file for me. I'm desperate and running out of time (baby is due in 6 weeks).
Thank you!

Here is one I drew for you. Pretty simple...just ovals with a circle welded to each end of two of them. FUN. I loved playing jacks as a young girl...oh the memories of being young.
Hope it works for you.

Hi, the
svg file is in the original post, see below the picture, under "attachment" Just download and then you might have to delete an extension that gets added. In your download folder you will see
jackPS.svg.xml
delete the .xml and you have your svg file.
