Wood burning- how do I put an image pattern on the wood?
I've heard of using pre-made carbon patters, but I want to use an image I already have. It's a black and white outline printed off the internet. How could I transfer this image exactly as it is onto the wood to accurately burn the image?
I usually make freehand sketches , but whenever I have to I use tracing paper to transfer the images onto the wood .
Step 1 . Prep the wood : make sure it smooth and without any bumps .
Step 2 . Trace the image on a sheet of tracing paper with a soft pencil .
Step 3 . Flip the image you just traced over and onto the wood . Secure it with the tape .
Step 4 . Use an HB pencil to trace the image once more . Check for the right amount of pressure . If the image is not vivid enough , do it again with more pressure this time .
Another , much faster way to transfer an image is simply put it on the wood ( face down ) and use an iron ( without the steam ) on a cotton setting . Glide it over for about 30 seconds . Depends on the iron and its temperature , but it works well most of the time . Color images don't transfer well this way . They come out vague .
