I saw this exact technique at a local thrift shop earlier today - the woman mentioned she'd done it using her cricut printer but I never realized at the time the amount of steps and actual work involved in actually doing it. After watching your video I have much more appreciation for the results she got. It's a very interesting technique - never would've guessed it was a chemical process.
Suggestion, clean surface with rubbing alcohol prior to applying the stencil or vinyl. There will be dust and other particulates on the surface and cause the material to not adhere.
I've tried 1tablespoon of corn starch to a little less than 1/2 cup of water I heated it for 120 second. A minute and as half. Stop your microwave and stir a few times add your ammonium chloride 1 tablespoon. Wala no thicket needed. Enjoy happy burning
😊Hi Guys! So excited to share this video with you! I hope you're all doing good. I've always wanted to try burning designs on wood 😍and finally got to try it! I think this would much such cute christmas gifts!!
Thanks for this video. I was wondering, is it possible to do a light sanding and put stain over the completed burned project? Or should you just stain first? Thanks again.
Hi. Great video. I have a project in mind but I’m in the uk and that brand of thickener is not available here. There are several on the market but not sure which to use as they have different ingredients. Do you know what it is in your Thicken It that makes it work plz?
Hiya Stacie. If you haven't already tried it, we have used permanent vinyl and it comes off fine. Just don't let it stay on too long as it bonds more over time. Good luck!
Mine didn't work...it is very very light. I even went back and applied a second coat after it didn't get a darker, and its still so very light. I wonder what went wrong.
It really depends on how close you hold it too. I held mine about 1/4 of an in away and consistently kept moving so I don't burn one spot but, I would say it definitely takes a bit of time. All together it took me about 40 minutes to burn the whole cutting burn out. MY heat gun was pretty weak though.
I’m confused about the process. The sequencing was that you applied ammonium chloride, peeled stencil then burned the wood. You then went and mixed the ammonium chloride and thickener then applied that mixture.
I tried using vinyl stencil and a scorch pen on wood coasters. Total fail bc of bleed. Are there woods that are better and won't bleed or are the pens just bad and should use the thickener route?
Sometimes the problem could be that the vinyl isn't adhering good enough. I also think if the consistency of the liquid it to runny that'll do it too. So yes definitely try using the method with the thickener.
@@tammympearce I think (just planning to try this technique) ring-porous woods will bleed more, since they have large vessels, and rough fibre structure. These are oak, acacia, ash, and elm wood. You want to use woods with more homogeneous structure, like beech, poplar, maple, linden etc.
I read somewhere that you can use cornstarch to thicken. wondering if any thickener would work? tapioca etc? it seems as if the main objective is to make a paste...??
I'm having horrible trouble, I'm using permanent vinyl and it does not want to stick, only the transfer paper is sticking. I'm using Cricut transfer tape??????
I am not sure who typed the closed caption, but you might want to check it out…please feel free to delete this comment after reading! :) Loved this video :)
thanks for this great video🤗 we try it out BUT in our case the ammonium water mix actually "flow" or run under the letters on the vinyl, so we didnt hav clear letters. did you had soch problems too? or any advises? thanks a lot✌💚
I know it's sponsored by Cricut but that's why there were so many issues, their transfer tape is way too sticky for stencil vinyl. I think it's too sticky for all vinyls, but their strong grip for their glitter is great. If you do this project, definitely don't use their transfer tape, use a real transfer tape, Amazon had great deals.
Guy also be mindful that although food is ok on top of this. It's not safe to cut on top off. Do not use as a cutting board as the stain itself is not food safe.

I love this honest, realistic review which includes instructions!
Thank you :)
I admire your enthusiasm. Your product looks great don't worry about anything else

You have a Miranda Lambert kinda smile....great job on the wood burning. I just got my cricut maker 3. Am anxious to wood work.

Aha! Thank you. Just what I needed to know.
I've seen where adding a couple drops of food coloring to the gel really helps u know where u have and haven't put the gel...any color besides yellow
Nice! I saw his video also! I’m glad you were honest about your mistakes. I wouldn’t have really noticed.
Made a round piece for my daughters wedding. Turned out perfect. Thanks for the video
😊Hi Guys! So excited to share this video with you! I hope you're all doing good. I've always wanted to try burning designs on wood 😍and finally got to try it! I think this would much such cute christmas gifts!!
Regardless, You should seal the wood with a food safe wood polish to protect the wood.
Wow! This is amazing! I have to try this. Thank you for sharing! ...AND Your eye color is GORGEOUS!

Great review! In the middle of trying it now!
Hello super nice and usefull! I was wondering if i can preserve the mixture for later (days). Thank you for your answer
Hi great video keep going but can I ask you what's the name of your foundation
Good morning! I love this project, just one suggestion. Switch to another brand about your transfer paper, cricut brand is super strong. 😘🌹🌷🌺
Great video!! Loved the tip about taping it down to hard surface!
I love your video, so I would like to know what's the font name of your design (Hive and the best)
If you add food coloring to the mix you can see it better on your wood when you go to heat it up.
Turned out great 👍🏽
Does it work on bamboo boards?
Do you ever get light spots in parts of your burn?
Was wondering if you can use still use a stain after everything completed?
can you reuse the vinyl to make multiple
How long did it take the mixture that you applied to dry?
So if you left this outside it would be resistance to rain, heat, snow, etc., and would this work on acrylic windows...?
Awesome! Thanks

Use cornstarch
Thank you !!!
what was the software u use
Thank you for this video. Question, if you use permanent vinyl, wouldn't it be hard to remove the stencil from the wood?
Hiya Stacie. If you haven't already tried it, we have used permanent vinyl and it comes off fine. Just don't let it stay on too long as it bonds more over time. Good luck!
can you do a burn like that on leather?
Excellent video. Subscribed !
Awesome, thank you!
Great video subscribed !
Hi, loving your work!
Do you know how long the mixed up paste will keep for?
Thanks
Hi Ruby, Thank you so much. I'm not sure sorry.
Can i get a.c at a hardware? Im in the Caribbean and im not sure where i can source it
So you used the ammonium chloride twice on the big piece of wood?
Just to make the paste and apply from what I remember
Hello!!
Is this food safe?
Thank you
Mine didn't work...it is very very light. I even went back and applied a second coat after it didn't get a darker, and its still so very light. I wonder what went wrong.
How long did it take to get the ammonium to burn? I’m trying this out and I don’t think I’m leaving the heat gun on it long enough

I was pretty confused too lol So many steps, chemicals ( also lots of plastic waste ) l'll stick to authentic wood burning 🔥
Can I ask where you got svg file from, please?

@@diylilyardor3435 are there certain wood types that just bleed?

Will it be safe to cut into and eat off of
I read somewhere that you can use cornstarch to thicken. wondering if any thickener would work? tapioca etc? it seems as if the main objective is to make a paste...??
Did you try this with other thickeners?
Great video Lily!! I did some cutting boards as well, but I like the board you used. Where did you get it (if you don't mind me asking)?
She said hobby lobby
Hi Vanessa, thank you. How exciting! I got mine at hobby lobby.
I can't use the cricut transfer tape...... clear contact paper works so much better!
I'll have to try that thanks :)
I'm having horrible trouble, I'm using permanent vinyl and it does not want to stick, only the transfer paper is sticking. I'm using Cricut transfer tape??????
Make sure you are using a respirator mask when using ammonium chloride, the fumes are not safe for your lungs.
Most boards I’ve found here in Australia have already been lightly oiled! It’s so frustrating!
Sand them
Small thing, but you should burn wood and THEN stain it to avoid chemical fumes.
So if I am correct you first applied ammonium only then burned and for the second time you put the ammonium and thickener mixture?
no. I made a mixture of ammonion and thickener in warm water then applied that mixture only once. Let dry and burned it off.
@@diylilyardor3435 thanks for responding
@@mimimadeit237 No problem anytime :D
Food safe mineral oil to seal it for use with food
What is the mixture for the ammonium chloride and thick it? How much do I use?
I share the recipe on my blog - www.lilyardor.com/how-to-burn-pictures-in-wood/
I am not sure who typed the closed caption, but you might want to check it out…please feel free to delete this comment after reading! :)
Loved this video :)
Sand wood some before applying stencil.
wow keren dan cantik karya-karyanya
Thank you
Can we save rest of the mix for later projects?
I think it lasts up to two weeks in the refrigerator but I'm not 100% positive. Would definitely need to try.
Hey has anyone tried a heat press to expose the design?
thanks for this great video🤗 we try it out BUT in our case the ammonium water mix actually "flow" or run under the letters on the vinyl, so we didnt hav clear letters. did you had soch problems too? or any advises? thanks a lot✌💚
Most cutting boards I have tried are bamboo and I guess because they're sealed and/or so hard, they do not soak up the solution 🤐
Oh no!
How much do you use of each of the chemical things and water to put on the project
Wtf? What kind of question is this? Did you even bother to watch the video? Because she covers that in the vid 🙄.
I know it's sponsored by Cricut but that's why there were so many issues, their transfer tape is way too sticky for stencil vinyl. I think it's too sticky for all vinyls, but their strong grip for their glitter is great.

Never stain the wood before doing this process.
Following this!
Thank you for saying this. I was just about to mention this!
Guy also be mindful that although food is ok on top of this. It's not safe to cut on top off. Do not use as a cutting board as the stain itself is not food safe.
She didn’t use stain on it. So it’s ok to use as a cutting board then right? Or no?
It can be made food safe
You need to sand it first.
That’s too much work lol there’s a video I saw where someone used a pen and then just used the heat gun I’m looking for that item lol
Very good but not simple ( from Indonesia country ).
Thank you appreciate the feedback
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Круто,лайк.заходите в гости,я тоже маленько выжигаю.
Please buy a laser engraving machine
I think the stencil material is horrible. I alway use vinyl for all my stencil painting.
Your super cute.
Your captioning is not in English. Please fix that under your setting. Thanks .
it looks like this cricut stuff is producing so much waste
Does this put off smoke?
