In this quick tutorial, I'm going to give you all the tips & tricks to create beautiful wood-burned art out of a repurposed mirror frame. Or any wooden frame for that matter!
Use objects like a round can of stain and a metal ruler to get perfect circles and straight lines. Work your way around the frame filling in your design until it's completed.
Sometimes when you get into wood burning you decide to add more complicated designs, that's ok, too.
Use the metal ruler to guide your wood-burning tool while you make your lines. Beware, it does make the ruler hot.
For fun, you can add personal dates, names, or quotes. I chose to use Norse runes to spell out our family names and special dates when our family started.
I chose to do a light distressing with a 220-grit sandpaper pad.
Any protective coat will work, I chose to use Minwax Furniture wax and it has held up tremendously.
