Wood Burning Nature Designs

I remember when I was a little girl, my older brother had a wood burning set. I was fascinated by all the cool designs he used to create, but I only tried it once back then. He showed me how to do it, and that was that. I made one and never did it again… until a couple years ago.

In 2023 I signed up for a subscription box through Amazon. I wanted to try something different. I was looking for monthly craft projects, but everything was “frilly” or more girly. I just wanted to try some new stuff!

I signed up for Craftsman Crate. It’s important to mention here that this is NOT a sponsored post, they don’t even know I’m posting this honestly. Amazon cancelled the subscription box services they offered, so I have multiple boxes waiting to be worked on. But Craftsman Crate still offers their subscription boxes through their website.

The box included everything I needed, the wood burning tool, several pieces of wood, patterns, transfer paper etc. I chose three patterns (hummingbird, dandelions, daisy) and the wood coasters and got to work!

After tracing the design over the transfer paper onto the wood square, then I used the wood burning tool to trace over the transferred design.

They included instructions and tips which were very helpful. Especially since I hadn’t used a wood burning tool since the 70s!

Overall this was a fun project. I love that I now have a wood burning tool that I can create more projects with.
