How to Burn Designs Into Wood using your Cricut!

Back in the early ’90s, I taught myself how to use a wood burning tool and painstakingly made a cutting board with one of my recipes on it. I shared this cutting board with everyone recently and many of you asked me to teach you how to burn wood. Well, these days there are new and easier ways to do wood burning, and I’m going to show you several of those techniques. It’s really hard to tell they are homemade and everyone would probably think you paid a bunch to get some custom-made wooden designs. But, in reality, these wood burned projects aren’t all that hard and make for great gifts … especially during the holidays. So let me show you how to use a Cricut cutting machine to easily make stencils and burn designs into wood!
