Blue Chaco Paper MATERIALS Blue Chaco Paper Design Embossing Tool/Pencil/Ballpoint Pen Tape Damp Sponge White Chaco Paper for Dark Backgrounds This is a Chaco paper that is white instead of blue. It works the same way as blue Chaco paper, but is great for an already darkened background, the darker the better. Just like blue Chaco paper it can be easily removed with a damp cloth. Great to use over large burned areas. This is a special paper with a blue chalk on one side and it erases with just water. PRO Transfers easily like graphite paper, easily removes with damp cloth. Doesn’t stain/scar wood. Can be removed entirely. Can be used over and over again. CON Be careful not to use too much water when removing excess Chaco. It rubs off easily, so it is not great for long-term use. Can be a bit harder to see than graphite paper. Blue Chaco paper can be quite expensive. Size, cut, and tape your design onto your wood.Slide the blue Chaco paper underneath with the blue side facing the wood.Follow your design lines with a light-medium pressure using an embossing tool or a ballpoint pen.Check on the progress of the transfer by lifting a corner to peek, but do not remove the design until all has been completely transferred.If you have completed your project but there are leftover blue Chaco transfer lines, simply use a lightly damp sponge or damp towel to remove any markings. ADDING COLOR Adding color can bring a whole new dimension to a wood burned piece. Color can have a profound effect on any person who views it. By adding color, you can set a mood, invoke an emotion, draw the viewer’s attention to certain parts, and add to a piece’s overall beauty. Botanical Wooden Comb - Burning Peach Wood Peach wood is such a lovely wood to burn. It is baby smooth, has a rich color, smells amazing, and looks so gorgeous when burned. Adding wood burned touches to these wooden combs will make them look so beautiful and will make you want to brush your hair all the time! You’ll want to leave this functional piece of art right on the counter, because it is so pretty. I know you didn’t think you would have to draw, but I promise you can totally handle this. Easily create this simple design from scratch, burn on a three-dimensional surface, and try your hand at burning on peach wood with this elegant hand burned comb. It makes an excellent gift and I encourage you to add personalized touches. Canvas Backpack - Burning Canvas Canvas is another amazing non-wood surface to embellish with pyrography. You will find canvas material in many different forms, and adding wood burned touches to any of these canvas materials will give them that personalized touch that will step up your canvas game. It is a bit smelly to burn, and you will need to clean your wood burning tool often, but it will look cool and be totally worth it. Be sure to use safety equipment. You and those around you won’t want to be inhaling the fumes from burning on canvas, so be sure to work in a well-ventilated space, and have fun with it! I can't wait to see all the canvas things you whip up. Baby Block - Adding Paint Pen These fun and whimsical botanical baby designs lend themselves so perfectly to the addition of paint pens. Adding color using paint pens infuses a piece with a liveliness and cheerfulness. Paint pens are so vibrant and color rich, they really help highlight these adorable designs from the amazing Eunice of @electriceunice. I have put these designs on a wooden block, but they could be added to so many different wooden surfaces. I can't wait to see how you use Eunice's beautiful designs to create wood burned keepsakes for the little ones in your life. Customizable Wood Burned Borders - Personalizing Wood Burned Designs with Mixed Media This section might just be my favorite for its versatility. The frames created by these borders give you a framework, (see what I did there?) to work off of and truly make your own. With these simple border designs, you can customize any wood burned piece to fit your needs. They can be used for birthdays, wedding décor, gifts, home décor, baby shower gifts, anniversaries—you get the idea. I am sure you will come up with ways to use them that I haven’t even considered! Each frame or border is just that—a frame for you to fill, personalize and embellish. The sky is the limit when I think of the possibilities of what could be added to these borders. For this particular piece I have added a mirror, paper flowers, stickers, glitter, a photo, paint, key hooks, and a plant holder. As you can clearly see, each one creates a completely different finished look, even though they all begin the same. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
