Enchanted Wedding Tablescape with Wood Burned Gifts

I used Small Basswood Country Rounds and the Creative Versa-Tool to create wood burned gifts for an enchanted wedding tablescape. These can be taken home by the guests. I chose words that represent the union of two people, and the future they’ll have together. We’re celebrating weddings this month at Walnut Hollow, but this tablescape could be used for any sort of celebration. This would be great for a fantasy birthday party.

SUPPLIES:

Small Basswood Country Rounds – Enough for each table setting
Creative Versa-Tool
Pencil
Big pink eraser

To achieve the enchanted tablescape, I also used

Gothic goblets
Flatware
Wood chargers
Black clay plates
Flat moss, sold in rolls
Bamboo place mats, under the moss
Cream gauze fabric
Black candelabra with coordinating candles
Dark fabric napkins – We didn’t have any that coordinated, but those are needed

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) With the pencil, write your words on one side of each Small Basswood Country Round. I chose Love, Cherish, Hope, Peace, Journey, and Beauty for my six rounds. I used cursive references from looking on the internet.

2) Using the tapered tip on the wood burning tool, follow the curves of the letters. Try to burn the lines evenly.

3) Use the big pink eraser to remove any pencil lines.

4) Set your table. Place a wood burned round on each plate, or around them as decoration. When the celebration is over, guests can take the rounds home.
