Here we would like to show you a simple project to do yourself. It's about a DIY wooden picture frame that is ideal as a personalized pictureGiftsuitable. It can also be used as a table and place card at festive occasions.
This is how it works step by step
For the DIY project you need the following materials:
–Picture frame(The shape, size and thickness of the wood can be freely selected)
– Pyrographie-Set
– Pencil with eraser head
– Painter’s tape
– fine sandpaper
– Graphite paper
- Scissors
– Editable PDF template
You can buy square photo frames with rounded edges at any craft store for little money. You can of course make these yourself, but that would be too time-consuming and inconvenient. If a wood burning kit with a burning pen and burning station is not available at the craft store, you can purchase one online. By the way, children can also handle burning pencils very easily.
Decoration variants
First of all, enter the names (e.g. of the guests invited to a party) into the PDF document and position them precisely, choose an interesting font, print out the templates. Then place the templates one after the other on the picture frame, trace the outlines with a soft pencil and cut out the shape. Briefly leave the surface of the photo frame smooth so that the motif can be easily applied. Then attach the template to the top of the frame with the adhesive tape.
Place a sheet of graphite paper in between
Place a sheet of graphite paper between the photo frame and the template and press lightly with your hand, then trace the name or other decorative ornaments with the pencil or the burning pen that is not yet turned on. Eliminate graph paper.
Plug the burning pen into the socket and wait 3-4 minutes until it is at the right temperature. Most of the time there is a special light for this. Then slowly and carefully trace the pre-painted lines with the burning pen. The longer you stay in one spot when painting with the burning pen, the darker the burn marks will be.
Tip: To keep your hand steady and “paint” more slowly, we recommend wrapping the burning pencil in a cloth.
Personally label the gift
When you're finished, run your hand over the photo frame to remove any remaining fine graphite particles. Voila! Complete!
