Going About Your First Project
Ready to begin your first project?
Here’s an easy Beginner’s Tutorial by Andrea from Pate’s Pyrography to get you started in the
right direction.
If you are looking for a way to create a very beautiful and professional looking burning, here are
some tips to help you along the way.
What you will need:
1. TRUArt pyrography pen
2. Wood of your choice
3. Colored ballpoint pen
4. Carbon tracing paper
5. Tape
6. Image/design to burn
7. Magic eraser
8. Sandpaper
9. Stain
10. Varnish
Take the time to find the right image to burn. Make sure the size of the image works well with
the piece of wood you choose. Be mindful of the type of wood you choose. Try sticking to a soft
wood such as birch wood, basswood or even a simple plywood. Sand your wood surface down
prior to use to ensure that the image you use will burn evenly. Do not burn on treated or
painted wood. This can be harmful to your health if the fumes are inhaled.
