Supplies:
- Scrap piece of wood cut in a square
- Woodburning Tool Kit
- Laser Printed design (inkjet will not work)
- Thin poplar wood pieces for frame (amount depends on size)
- Miter Saw
- White paint
- Paintbrush

How to Video:
Here’s a quick video to show you how I made this. Step-by-step instructions will be given below to those that prefer written details, but the video has it all!
Instructions:
This project is pretty simple. Be sure to work on a safe surface as this woodburning tool gets very hot and you don’t want anything catching fire!
- Print a design that you like with a LASER PRINTER, inkjet will not work.
- Tape the design face down onto your piece of wood.
- Use the Transfer tip on your Woodburning Toolkit, set the tool to hot setting, and rub the flat end of the tip in circular motion over the entire design. You can lift and check to see if it is transferring, just be sure not to move the entire paper.
- Remove the paper and tape.
- Turn tool to OFF setting and once it is cool, replace the transfer tip with the Universal Tip.
- Turn tool back to HOT.
- Once heated (a few minutes) begin to burn the design. Use the tip and drag as needed for each line. (The video above shows this in detail.)
- Once entire design is burned, turn off the tool and get ready to frame.
- Cut pieces for frame to size with miter saw.
- Paint frame pieces (or paint afterward like I did because I was unsure if I wanted it painted.)
- Glue pieces to art piece with wood glue and clamp together. Let glue dry.
- Spray entire piece with Polyurethane spray. Let dry completely.
- Finished! Hang on your wall and admire the beauty! (Then make more! 😉 )

I love the design, looks so beautiful. Thanks for sharing Sheri..
Thanks!
This is gorgeous. I had a wood burning tool for my birthday last month and have just started playing with it. I did share a couple of very beginner type ideas and have started a pinterest board to give me ideas. This is so useful, thank you. It’s going on my board right now!
Awesome! It’s really fun! I plan to do more soon!
Oh my goodness LOVE this SO much! Featuring when my party opens tonight and will be checking out some of the other linked projects. I have a woodburning tool still in the package that you’ve inspired me to use.
Thank you Carol! Yay!
I’ve featured your woodburning project on this week’s Party in Your PJ’s! Be sure and stop by!
Wow, thank you Teresa!!!
I just bought a woodworking tool, but haven’t used it yet. I’m loving this look! Thanks so much for sharing on Party in Your PJ’s. Pinned for later!
Wow! That is so beautiful! I tried my hand at woodburning once or twice. I actually really enjoyed it. May have to give it another shot!

Oh my goodness, Sheri, these designs are amazing. I’m not sure I’d be talented enough to do this (even with your wonderful instructions) but the results are lovely. Thank you so much for sharing these projects and how tos with the Hearth and Soul Link Party. Hope to ‘see’ you again next week!
That is beautiful! We have a wood burning tool we inherited from a family member and have used it a time or two but never for anything quit this intricate. It’s really beautiful. What a great challenge idea. Pinned.
So pretty! Thank you for sharing at The Really crafty Link Party. Pinned.
So fun Sheri! I love woodburning projects. This makes me want to pull my woodburning tool out. 🙂
Thank you! It’s so fun! I’m thinking I need to have each month of the year dedicated to one type of crafting so I have time to use each of my tools. 😉
Very pretty! I have a wood burning tool but haven’t used it yet. I definitely need to try this.
Woah, that is so intense! I love that you burned the wood to create the release pattern!
This looks lovely!! Its crazy how similar our projects are… great minds think alike 😉
I almost used wood burning too haha!
I am so impressed with your wood burning skills! I used one recently at a blog conference and I felt like a big fat failure at wood burning 101!!!
I love your project!
pinning!

It looks so pretty! Great job!
Thank you so much Katie!
I’m so SO obsessed with this, and want to try wood burning asap!
It’s so fun, smells so good and is easier than I thought! 😉 You can totally do it! I admire your scrolling skills.
So pretty, Sheri! I love wood-burning and the smell reminds me of a campfire. Good times! Thanks so much for participating in this fun challenge! xoxo
Thank you for inviting me, it was so much fun!
