4 Wood Burning Craft Ideas that are Perfect for October

  • 2 min read

Another summer is coming to a close, and the long, hot days are being replaced by brisk air and bright leaves.

And now that everyone in the northern hemisphere is cozying up with their hoodies and heaters, it’s the perfect time for crafting.

Thankfully, at Scorch Marker, we’ve got you covered. 

In this article, we’re sharing four fun, simple wood-burning craft ideas for the whole family to enjoy. 

Scorch Marker Makes Wood Burning Easy

Instead of fiddling with a dangerous pyrography pen, the Scorch Marker makes wood-burning easy and safe.

Quite simply, this incredible tool takes the complexity of wood-burning and puts it into a marker.

It also allows you to burn intricate designs by using vinyl stencils and can even be used on surfaces like cork and paper mȃché.

Let’s have a look at four of the best fall crafts you can create with the Scorch Marker this October!

1. Halloween-Themed Coasters

Halloween is right around the corner, and coasters are the perfect way to get the whole family in the spirit.

All it takes is a few small wood slices, some cute Halloween stencils, your Scorch Marker, and a heat gun to create the perfect coasters.

Make sure to sand your wood slices to at least 500-grit to achieve the cleanest designs.

And, don’t forget to get these stencils for free in our store with the code ‘ilovestencils’.

2. Witchy Tic Tac Toe

Coasters aren’t the only craft possibility for the Scorch Marker and a few wood slices.

In fact, all it takes is adding in a piece of wood or denim to create an entirely new game.

By using these adorable stencils from Etsy, you can create 10 different wooden game pieces and a playing table.

We even added some spider webs for a spooky effect!


Remember to always use a heat gun that is at least 1500-watts to achieve the darkest burn.

You can also put your wood pieces into the oven for about 10 minutes to achieve the same effect.

3. A Creepy Wall Sign

Home decor is one of the best ways to prepare yourself, your family, and your guests for the Halloween holiday.

Get started with some DIY wall signs!

And, if you use a stencil made from vinyl, plastic, metal, or even silkscreen, you can even create professional-looking signs for your friends to enjoy!

4. Fall-Themed Wooden Spoons


October isn’t just about Halloween; it’s also the season of autumn!

It’s this time of year that we also enjoy maple leaves and pumpkin-flavored everything.

With the Scorch Marker, you can even decorate and customize your wooden utensils and kitchen tools.

Because the liquid inside is completely non-toxic and food-safe, you can use your Scorch Marker to customize wooden spoons, spatulas, and even cutting boards.

And you can do it with complete peace of mind!

There is so much crafting to do in the fall, and at Scorch Marker we want to do it all!

Right now, on all of our social media accounts, you can find endless different Halloween- and autumn-themed crafting ideas.

And, the best thing is, we offer the stencils for them, too! Check out our TikTok and Instagram accounts to learn more.
