Easy Wood Burning for Beginners with a Scorch Marker

[@Taitcreates639]

Just bought a scotch marker, have a bunch of wood slices from a tree at my friends cabin. Short and simple tutorial, love it

[@SarahVanderkooy]

That's great! Enjoy crafting with your Scorch marker.

One year later....yep you are still aspiring folks lol. I was already sold, but when you did the gold wood piece 🤯💥. Thank you so much for this video💯

[@appleoneill5135]

Very helpful tutorial. Thank you ❤

I don't have a heat gun. Can I use a hair dryer on high heat?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

It won't get quite as hot as a heat gun so the results will be lighter, but it does work.

[@SheilaHarrison-pi8po]

I burn on varnished chopping boards what crayons or felt tips can I use that don’t come off when I wax the board

[@TheREALZacHnat]

Question about transfer. What is the clear plastic you used to transfer the vinyl to the wood after peeling? Is it specific to the reusable vinyl or another transfer method entirely?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

That's called transfer tape. It's a way to move all pieces of the stencil over easily. It's used just with adhesive vinyl

[@Zonniezonnie_Minecraft]

I have issues with bleeding over, any ideas why and how to stop it

[@sumaiask357]

Hi there, would this work on thin wood veneers? Thank you!

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Bare wood is ideal, the liquid needs something to sink into. I think on a veneer it would just sit on top.

[@Vintageauntie1962]

I have a question I am new too this and my kit came with some bees wax and when I went to put it on it made my design run! Do you need to let the design set up before putting anything on it like the shimmer or mode podge?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

You should be able to seal or paint the design right away. The beeswax is meant as a sealer to protect the wood. Sometimes wiping on anything can cause the burned wood to run. Melting it first could help. Or just applying it gently.

[@asimpleaffairevents1729]

How long does it take, from start to finish, to make a wood ornament? Also, do you know how much it costs, per ornament to make, with the cricket stencil paper?

[@megansnyder3917]

What kind of cricut do you have?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

I use the Maker 3 most often but any Cricut can make stencils like this.

[@insideandoutplants]

Do the scorching pens work with a propane torch or is that too hot?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

That would be too hot, you risk burning the wood.

[@Tomfoolery522]

What about a blow dryer? Or is that not hot enough? ​@@SarahVanderkooy

[@yaohkhazakaybathtsayon]

Thank you ❤🎉🎉🎉

[@kellysummers4365]

When I use the marker, the ink/paint bleeds noticeably. Anyway to prevent this?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

I've had this happen too, the liquid can come out fast and bleed through the stencil. When it does I try to use very little pressure and just barely touch the wood. There are also 2 tips on this particular marker, the brush tip is helpful for controlling the flow of liquid.

[@30rose1]

Would the marker not work on hangers that have a finish to them?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

It has to be used on bare wood, you could sand down the hanger in the spot you want to use this.

[@syirahhalim3045]

Hi there, what you really inspired. May i know what kind of wood you using. Thx in advance

[@SarahVanderkooy]

I'm not sure exactly, these wood slices are from amazon. But I've used this marker on birch and pin wood as well as basswood and it's worked well.

[@Ancestors-of-the-4-Directions]

how many times can you use the same stencil?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Just once, however you could make or purchase reusable stencils if you plan to create the same design many times.

[@KathyMinervino]

hello! I am using a 1500-watt heat gun. I have tried the low speed, the high speed...moving it constantly and my 'pattern' remains the orangish color, not 'burning' Any thoughts and thank you!

[@leealexanderchadwick]

Any luck I'm in same boat

[@KathyMinervino]

@@leealexanderchadwick no, no luck at all. Was hoping for some answers. Frustrating.

[@leealexanderchadwick]

@@KathyMinervino I got a refund

[@dswatik99]

where did you get the gold shimmer paint? I cant find it anywhere

[@SarahVanderkooy]

There's a link in the description of the video, it's called enchanted shimmer and comes in a number of different colors. It's also available at some craft stores.

[@danielleholmes3991]

What is the name of your brown mat..?

[@danielleholmes3991]

And it protects your surface from your heating gun

[@SarahVanderkooy]

It's a piece of wood, about a half inch thick. I just used some scrap I had. But it's thick enough that it protects my surface.

[@90sgamingbrothers]

india avail?

[@tinaclarke704]

The tutorial was good, however the quality of the burn leaves something to be desired. its bleeding on the edges. I've seen this stuff for sale and the photos show stuff that's a lot more precise..is that photoshopped or can it be spruced up?

[@SarahVanderkooy]

The bleeding here is due to the deep grain in this wood. The scorch marker is a liquid and it can bleed under a stencil through the grain. To avoid it, opt for smooth bare wood for crisp results. Or use very little liquid.

[@Ravenoustoxic]

if you gonna spend money on stencil printer, better buy daja dj6 and let the laser printer do the work.

[@ZymurgySchrodinger]

Yeah, everyone has a cricket

[@hockeygames8743]

It’s looks nice but something missing. It’s like turkey bacon compared to real bacon. The real wood burning heat pens create a different texture and groove this can’t make

[@SarahVanderkooy]

Yes, you don't get a deep engrave like you would with a burning pen or laser engraver. But it's a great inexpensive option for those that don't have the other tools.

[@joebyrne6129]

Stupid question could a hair dryer work 😂

[@SarahVanderkooy]

A little bit yes, but in most cases it won't get hot enough to get that rich deep color. Not a stupid question!

[@Tomfoolery522]

​@@SarahVanderkooyso are there any other alternatives besides heat gun propane torch and hair dryer? What about holding it over a stove lol? Or baking it? Just some thoughts

[@Zonniezonnie_Minecraft]

@@Tomfoolery522baking! Yes
