Personalize Your Outdoor Cedar Table With Woodburning


If you’re anything like me, you want everything you own to be unique and artistic. I want my home to reflect who I am, and be completely one-of-a kind. Your backyard can function as your own, personal getaway. A well-furnished yard can serve as your vacation from the every day.
No rustic garden is complete without a beautiful outdoor cedar table. One way to completely personalize your table is by purchasing a wood-burning kit and decorating it however you like. These kits are fairly inexpensive, and can be purchased at any local craft store. There are also many different tips which you can buy for your wood-burning iron which create certain effects and different width lines to completely customize your artwork.
Before starting on your outdoor cedar table, it is important to decide on what you want your custom tabletop artwork to look like. You definitely do not want to start without a plan. Draw out your design on paper first, and then practice it on a scrap piece of wood. You only get one chance on your actual table, so make sure that you are ready!
If you are less artistically inclined, you can use stencils. Stick to simple designs and/or lettering.
Wood-burning your outdoor cedar table is the perfect way to make your backyard haven completely one-of-a-kind. It can reflect your personality and creativity in an entirely unique piece that is sure to grab attention and set the mood in your yard.
