DIY Wood Slice Tree

I was walking around the craft store (Michaels actually), and I saw this wood slice in a rectangular shape. I’ve never seen one of those before in a store, the oval and round ones seem to be more popular, and I picked it up and had an idea.

Since it’s Valentine season I wondered if I could make a faux wood burning effect and make it look like a carved tree with initials! Took it home, gave it a shot, and loved how it turned out!

DIY Wood Slice Tree Tutorial

Supplies:

wood slice (or basswood plank)
brown oil-based Sharpie
pencil and eraser

…that’s it!

Directions:

Draw an image and write your initials. *note: if you’re not comfortable with drawing print off a design and trace it on with tracing paper.
Once you have the design just how you like it, trace the pencil marks with the Sharpie.
