4 Scorch Marker Craft Ideas for the Absolute Beginner

  • 2 min read

When most people hear the words “wood burning”, they think about complicated tools, dangerous equipment, and a difficult process.

That’s because, up until now, the hobby was quite difficult.

However now, thanks to the Scorch Marker, even total beginner’s can try their hand at wood burning by creating projects that will wow their friends. 

In this article, we’re sharing seven Scorch Marker crafts that even the beginner can create. 

The Scorch Marker Makes Wood Burning Easy for Everyone

Instead of requiring you to use dangerous tools or complicated equipment, the Scorch Markers puts the technology of wood burning into a marker.

Now, all you have to do to achieve a dark, permanent burn on almost any surface is simply draw it on, heat it up, and watch your burn come to life. 

Here are four craft ideas you can enjoy creating today.

1. Design An Envelope for a Loved One

The Scorch Marker doesn’t only work on wood!

This one-of-a-kind crafting tool can be used to burn canvas, cardboard, and even paper.

And, the great thing about burning paper is that there is no sanding required. 


To design your very own envelope, simply stick on your stencil, draw the design, and burn it into the paper.

You can see the entire process for this craft here on TikTok.

2. Customize a Paper Máché Planter

Regular paper isn’t the only surface to try burning with the Scorch Marker.

Paper máché can also be burned to create a design that’s unique, permanent, and hand-drawn.

Paper máché planters are a wonderful way to show off your wood burning skills, and to blow your friends away with your talent.
