Hello everyone, I am new to this site and was wondering if anyone could help me with how to put rub on decals onto wood, as I have been trying to add small pictures to my pyrography (woodburning) and they don't seem to be working for me. :(

A long time ago I read where you apply varnish to your wood and let it dry. They used an iron to soften the varnish for the pic to sink to the bottom of the varnish top of the wood. But given todays tools I think a small heat gun might work better. Try with something that is not good before you try it on a good project. Glitz

patten transfer your item with graphite paper then wood burn it and buy some water color pencils to color the wood and take a paintbrush with a cup of water and wet brush and paint over it for an interesting design you can make home made transfer paper with a number 2 pencil and white paper..just color one side completely with a pencil and put it colored side down and put picture over it and trace picture it will go to wood that way for you to burn it in i think decals with wood burning look tacky..just wood burn whole pattern it will look better..

You could pattern transfer the pictures then wood burn them it would be more interesting than just adding pictures. You can use graphite transfer paper or make your own with a pencil and some white paper. Color one side of the paper with a pencil until it's all colored, then put you pattern on top of paper, and out line with a pen or pencil to transfer the design to the wood. Then wood burn it with a tool get some water color pencils and color it in then wet paint over it for a painted look.

Jan, you can cut out any picture or word you want on your project. buy some decoupage and put the glue on one side, lay on your project and then decoupage over the picture and walla your picture will stick and look lovely. If you think it needs it spray some polyurethane on and make it shine better.
