I can’t believe that it is Fall already. It’s starting to cool down here in Minnesota so I thought a Fall project would be perfect! I was grabbing some items from Dollar Tree and came across these cute wood Halloween cut outs. I thought I’d add a design and burn that design into the piece of wood.

First, you want to trace a design or free hand a design onto your piece of wood with a pencil. I’m not an artist so I grabbed a stencil that I had used on a previous project.

After you finish stenciling the project you will want to mix up your ammonium chloride mixture. Add 1 tablespoon of Ammonium Chloride to ½ of a cup of water. Stir it thoroughly until it is completely mixed. Trace your design with a small paint brush dabbed into the Ammonium Chloride mixture. Don’t saturate the brush as it bleeds easily.

I worked in sections and painted over 3 - 4 designs and then used my Wagner HT400 Heat Gun to burn those areas. I used the 2nd setting to burn the Ammonium Chloride. I found the first setting not to be strong enough.

I loved how it turned out. It took quite a while to finish this piece but I love the outcome. If you are new to wood burning I’d recommend doing a less detailed design. :)

I had so much fun making the pumpkin that I wanted to also make a sign for my office. Head on over to my blog for the full tutorial.
