My parents recently remodeled their house so I thought it would be fun to burn a picture of their new house on a cutting board. I figured it would be fairly easy since a house is straight lines. It turned out so well that I made one for myself and my sister-in-law!
I started with an inexpensive cutting board from Home Goods.
The rest of the process is similar to the deck step I wood burned a few years ago. First, take a photo of the house and use powerpoint to make it the desired size and print.
Rub the back of the paper with oil pastels to turn it into 'tracing paper'.
Place the photo where you like on the cutting board and use tape to secure in place.
Use a pen to trace the outline of the house.
The oil pastels will transfer to the board on the lines traced. Use various wood burning tips to fill in the lines, and that's it!
Here is a close-up of the finished product. It was so easy to make a such a custom piece. This would be a great gift for a house warming or any occasion!
