Recently, I bought a wood burning kit and I've been experimenting with different techniques! I thrifted some wood bowls recently. These easy doggie bowls were a good first project. Here's what I did...
1. Supplies: Wooden bowls, wood burning tool, letter stickers. 2. Begin by applying stickers to the outside of the bowl. Be very careful, making sure they line up perfectly. 3. Next, begin tracing the stickers with the wood burner. 4. Once you've traced each letter, carefully remove the stickers. 5. Lastly, add a small period to the end of each word with the burner. 6. Remove stickers and touch up any messy lines. Note: This tool can be dangerous. Be sure to follow all directions and warning that come with your tool.
Stay tuned for a second wood burning project later this week! We're having so much fun playing with this new tool. XO. Emma + Kinsey
Woo hoo! First person to comment! Also such a great idea and I love the wood!

You can do so many great things with a wood burner, like decorating trays or picture frames. These bowls you made look great!

Holy calzone! Sooo cute! Anybody know where I can buy similar bowls new? I thrift all kinds of wooden bowls, but I've never seen any with those nice, straight sides.

For a second I thought that this is so stupid, dogs can't read! Then I realised that it's the humans who fill the bowls. LOL, I'm feeling so stupid right now :D

I love this! I actually just saw a wood burner today at Joann's and told my husband we should get it (of course we didn't!) Now I'm going to have to get back. I need to make these!

This is awesome! My dad has one of these and I've seen so many awesome projects, but I've been intimidated, haha. I think I might try and give it a go! :)
Have a great day!

This is so cute, I used to have an eggcup with my name on it that was made at a craft fair, it was my favourite possession for ages...it makes me sad that I can't find it now.
I can't wait to see what else you come up with!

every time I have money in my paypal account I start eyeing up peculiar things like wood burners on ebay. These look really cool-might have to give into temptation next time!

I love this idea! I had no idea that things like wood burners existed! It's definitely going on my "need-to-buy" list ;)

I love these bowls! I'm tempted to make them even though I don't have a dog! There are so many possibilities for this technique. I'm sure I'll be able to come up with another similar project. Thanks for the inspiration!
