Hello peeps,
I've been experimenting with some serious wood burning stuff lately and trust me, it was fun. I just started off with a basic wood burning kit with temperature control and a bunch of different tips came along with it.
Below are pictures of some of the stuff I tried out. As for the colors, I used watercolor paints.
I tried wood burning basically on any workable piece of wood I had, like that chopping board !! I am listing below all of the stuff needed to make some cool decor.
Materials needed:
- Wood round slices (Got them at Target for $5 )
- Wood burning kit with temp control and tips
- A print out of your favorite piece of art or quote
- Carbon paper for tracing the patterns
- Pencils and Eraser
- Watercolors and brushes
I started off by tracing the outlines of my favorite quotes and pictures as well as some freehand drawings.
The real wood working starts when I plugged in my wood burning kit at a protected and well ventilated space and let it heat up.
Use a spare piece of wood or the actual piece's backside to test and control the amount of heat and the resulting burns on the wood. Take care not to touch the tip of the pen at any point of time. Use pliers if you have to change the tips.
Run the wood burning pen along the outlines or fill up the inside with patterns of choice.
Use watercolors if needed to shade your patterns.
Your very own wood burnt decor is ready !
