Wood Burning Craft

9/16/2020

We featured a fun "Quarantine Craft Time" back in April that we wanted to revisit since it was perfect for crafters of all ages and skill levels. It’s so fun and easy, and you can get the whole family involved, or just get crafty while you’re relaxing on your own. 

All of the materials listed can be purchased and delivered to your house via Amazon, and the wood burning itself is fairly simple as long as you know how to trace. Kids can easily do this while supervised by an adult, and you can come up with all kinds of great things to display in your home from pictures, to quotes, to your favorite bible verse.

First Steps for First-TimersThe talented Chandee Ulch showed us everything we need to know about getting started, and It’s easy to get your hands on a wood burning kit- You can purchase just the wood pen and tips, or a full kit with stencils, stamps, and shading options for around 30 bucks.

Step 1-
Decide what you are going to use for your wood decor. You can use something you already have at home like a cutting board, lazy susan, or wooden utensils.

You may want to purchase food-grade wood sealer if you decide to keep them in use in the kitchen. You can also purchase or salvage pallets, wood slices, slabs, frames, wooden hangers, and blocks of all shapes and sizes. 

Step 2-
Find the picture, quote, bible verse, font etc… that you would like to reproduce. Pinterest has countless free printables, but you can use a picture, font, or design from coloring books, notebooks, magazines, greeting cards- the options are endless and easily accessible.

Step 3-
Start with taping carbon transfer paper on top of the wood (also available on Amazon). They offer hundreds in a package, but look for a small package of 25 sheets since you can keep reusing it over and over. Take a #2 pencil to trace the design over the carbon paper.

 Step 4-
When you've transferred the design. It’s time to take the paper off and  fill your design in with the hot tool. For simple fonts and line drawing, use the tip that looks like a pencil. However, you can play around with the different kinds of shading and learn just how crafty you really are. 

Some things to keep in mind: Use pliers to change tips when hot DO NOT TOUCH! Also, keep a container close by for the hot tips if you are switching them out or cooling them down. Some suggestions are a ceramic bowl, cast iron skillet, or other heat proof container. Also, make sure you remove anything that is heat sensitive before you start with the burning tool. You can use graphite transfer paper instead of carbon paper and erase the marks after you are done burning if you want to keep them light.

Today I have come publicly to let everyone who cares to listen and willing to bring back their lost heart desires . My name is Willie Trunk from Georgia, USA. I came here to testify about a legitimate spell caster Dr Ozigidon, who helped me to reunite with my Ex-husband after 3 years of divorce. I contacted him on Whats-App (+2349054750112) after reading so many testimonies of his powerful spell and within 72 hours my husband and I were reunited. Today our marriage is filled with more love like we never had a divorce. I appreciate the good work of Dr Ozigidon and I am recommending him with trust to everyone who wants their heart desires back or have fertility challenges. Contact his email (drozigidonhenz.spell.net@gmail.com) With all confidence, you shall give a great testimony.
