DIY Wood Burned Cookie Plate for Parties, Weddings and More!

Hey everyone, Katie here!

My Sister is getting married later this year, and I have been dubbed the “MADE of Honor” because I am making everything. So I have been brainstorming projects that I can make for her to use as decor in her Wedding. I love the Basswood Country Rounds that Walnut Hollow makes, so I really wanted to use one as a cookie plate. Since Walnut Hollow products has durable tools for wood burning, I decided to wood burn and paint this Basswood round!

 

Supplies:

• 1 Basswood Country Round Thick Straight Cut
• Creative Versa-Tool Woodburner
• Pencil
• Sketchbook
• White Acrylic Paint
• Paint Brush

1. Start by deciding what design you want to do. I was inspired by Spanish folk art, and sketched out a few design ideas in my sketchbook.

2. Use a pencil to sketch your design onto the basswood country round.

3. Use the Creative Versa-Tool (I recommend setting it to the orange setting) to burn in your designs. I used the universal tip to wood burn in the floral designs and once I was done, I let it cool off and then I used pliers to unscrew the tip and switched to the flow tip to burn in little dots like confetti.

4. Use a small paint brush to fill in the floral designs with white acrylic paint.

 

Thank you for stopping by today! I am off to go work on more crafts and wedding decor!

What style of designs would you wood burn onto a cookie plate? What type of cookie would you bake to put on it?
