Farmhouse Wood Burned Cork Trivets

 

I do love Farmhouse Flair.  My inspiration for these  Wood Burned Cork Trivets came from  Pinterest (duh!).  I’ve mostly seen cork trivets with words burned in to them not farmhouse icons.

 

Make Paper Stencils to burn in to Cork Trivets

 

If you’re like awesome at free hand art, you can use a marker to sketch on the corks but I’m creative, not artsy so I require stencils.  To make the stencils, I imported and re-sized  some clip art and a cut files using my Silhouette CAMEO then printed off the images  on copy paper.

Using a Wood Burning Tool, I  traced the image through the paper on  to the cork .    I’ll be honest.  I was a little nervous about ruining the corks by burning the image through paper but it was really easy to do and worked great!

Use different wood burning tool tips to color and shade in images. Love the Pig!

After you drawn the outline of your images,  use the different wood burning tip found in the kit to color and shade in the outline and add details as needed.  I wish I could tell you what tips are best to use but, I just played with them all until I liked how they looked.

I totally love the way they turned out.!  The Rooster is my favorite.  Maybe ’cause I have a secret dream of  living on a small farm with chickens one day?

These Wood Burned Cork rivets were easy to make and could totally be personalized with any type of designs.   I even plan to incorporate them in to my Farmhouse decor when they’re not in use on my dinner table.

    In order to protect your beautifully burnt images on your trivets, did you seal the trivet before using it under hot pot and dishes or did the images hold up? I just completed my 2nd batch of 3 as gifts, but didn’t seal any of them. Now I’m concerned that the images will be compromised by setting hot items on them.

      Hi Terri. I never even thought of sealing the corks. Since the image is actually burned in to the cork, it should hold up like any other cork trivet. Good Luck! Holly

    Like I mentioned, this was my very first time ever using a wood burning tool, so this was a pure experiment for me.  I picked up this particular set that came with a bunch of different interchangeable tips as well as a handy dandy storage case.  It also allows you to adjust the heat depending on what type of item you re burning .I like having options. This tool can be used on not only wood and cork, but also leather, paper crafts, or other home decor items like fake pumpkins ..guess what I ll be trying out this fall!

    You could also use this idea for coasters. I’m thinking of doing some for coaster inside some distressed mason jar lids. Can’t wait to try these.
