🔥 BURN PICTURES & DESIGNS INTO WOOD WITH ANY CRICUT CUTTING MACHINE | CRICUT TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS

👉 UPDATED VERSION OF THIS TUTORIAL HERE: • 🔥 *UPDATED* BURN PICT...
In this Cricut Tutorial for Beginners, I'm showing you how to burn pictures into wood with your Cricut! This is an easy, step by step Cricut tutorial that you can use with the Cricut Joy, Cricut Explore Air 2, or Cricut Maker! This is a really cool technique with the Ammonium Chloride that can be used to chemically burn / brand photos, designs, monograms, etc. into wood without a wood burning kit and without a branding iron! This is a GREAT scorch pen / scorch marker alternative!!
UPDATE ON WOOD BURNING!
Hey y’all! Since putting out my wood burning video, I’ve been working with various wooden surfaces for other videos. I’ve found that when the wood has more of a “porous” / splinter-ey feel to it (yes, I just made up that word 😂) even with the thick-it it can tend to bleed a little. A GREAT solution that I’ve found for that is just giving the wood a light sand with something like 220 grit sandpaper until it feels SUPER smooth. Doing that virtually eliminated all of the bleeding! I hope that helps!
🚨 CONTEST IS NO LONGER RUNNING
Ammonium Chloride is relatively safe and the wood you chemically burn with it "should" be food safe after washing off any leftover residue, but please do your own research before attempting this.

I have seen a couple of your tutorials and I just love them. I wanted to share a little tip that I have used many times myself. I see that you tend to create a template to help you to get your image size just perfect for your project, however you delete your template. I do the same thing when I am working in design space but instead of deleting my template, I center my image onto my template then I attach the two and cut the image along with my template. This helps with two things; 1. Placement of my image onto my project 2. I don’t have to cut my stencil off of the carrier sheet, therefore it makes the weeding process a lot easier, for me at least. I also have my entire project covered minus the area that I wish to get the color change. I really hope that I explained that in an easy to understand manner. I am a new subscriber to your channel and am looking forward to seeing more of your inspirational projects! Thank you!

I love what you did to that door hanger, I just wondering if you can stain the wood after you burned it.

[@danielleriley2267]

Hi. I stained my wood before, but then did another coat of stain after to help the burn bleed blend in better. So, in my case at least, yes you can stain afterwards.

[@carmenhester9209]

Thank you so much Danielle for your answer. I'll try to see how it works. Take care and Happy Holidays.

[@nikkilesley2525]

Yes, you can absolutely stain the wood after burning. I’m actually learning the old fashion way of wood burning. For that you can check out Pyrocrafters on KZbin. 👍

[@amberweller203]

You should never be burning after staining. Chemicals in the stain can produce toxic fumes.

[@jessicamishler1589]

Do you seal the wood after you've burned it so that it can be handwashed and used for food? I'm thinking there is some kind of food safe sealant out there but I haven't done anything with food related items so I'm not sure what it would be. 😂

[@melissakelly3479]

OMG.... Your my new best friend! Question can you do this on painted wood or just stained? I love this! Now I have to binge watch all your videos

[@fuzzzyyellow]

The heat gun will likely bubble your paint. It's a great tool for stripping paint off furniture so I wouldn't recommend it for this.

[@mrcraftypants]

The gel has to come in contact with the wood grain, so paint is out of the option. However, a light stain works great! 😊

[@KimberlyBreckenridge]

QUESTION?! Can you keep the left over mixture to use for later?

[@magemuse3451]

[@gwendurden5096]

Just thought I would let you know they make a pen that does the same thing I think you get it on amazon you trace the stencil and then add the heat

[@mrcraftypants]

It’s called a scorch marker. 😊 however, you’re not going to really be able to stop the solution from spreading very much with it. With ammonium chloride + thick it on top of a stencil you’re going to get much cleaner lines. 😊

I tried cornstarch and it didn't work. Because it makes a non-newtonian fluid (turns into a solid when it moves). But I found a cheap item that works. If you add metamucil in, and let it sit. It thickens, and works perfect. It's typically cheaper than food and beverage thickeners. Just make sure the one you get doesn't say non thickening

Help! LOL. I wonder what I did wrong. Is it possible to let the ammonium chloride mixture sit too long where it makes it hard to then burn? My wood round was very difficult to burn. In fact, I started burning areas of the wood that I did not want and now they are blotchy. I also started pulling sap out of the wood. I'm not giving up on this cool process though. I did forget the mixture sitting on the wood so I wonder if it sat too long. That's the only thing I can think of that I did differently.
