Wenn du auf der Suche nach einer kreativen Möglichkeit bist, dein Heim in eine gemütliche Winterlandschaft zu verwandeln, dann ist Brandmalerei genau das Richtige für dich!

Diese Technik ist nicht nur eine meditative Beschäftigung, sondern verleiht deinem Wohnraum auch eine persönliche Note. In dieser Anleitung zeige ich dir, wie du Schritt für Schritt ein Baumstämmchen mit winterlichen Motiven verschönerst.

Material preparation and motif transfer

Step 1: Template and preparation First choose a suitable winter motif that you like or print out the free template in the desired size. The motif should be clearly recognisable as you will be transferring it to the tree trunk later.

Step 2: Use graphite paper Place the graphite paper with the dark side on the pine tree trunk. This special type of paper transfers pressure onto surfaces and is often used for painting and drawing projects.

Step 3: Transfer the motif Place your printed template on the graphite paper. Now use a pencil to trace all the lines of the motif. Press evenly, but not too hard, so that the motif is transferred clearly onto the wood. This step is crucial in order to have a clear orientation for the wooden burning later on.

Burning and finishing the tree trunk

Step 4: Using the branding pen Before you start burning, make sure that the branding pen is set to the right temperature. Carefully begin to burn the lines of the applied motif. A branding pen is a versatile tool that allows you to burn precise lines and shading into the wood.

Step 5: Experiment with different attachments Try out different attachments on your branding pen to achieve different effects. Fine tips are ideal for detailed work, while wide tips work on larger areas more quickly. Experimenting with different attachments can add extra dimensions to your artwork.

Finishing and finishing considerations

Step 6: Ready for presentation Once you are happy with your work, allow the tree trunk to cool thoroughly. Your winterised tree trunk is now ready to be displayed in your home or to be given as a handmade gift.
