You may be thinking: why do I need a wood burning transfer tip? A transfer tip is the only thing that will keep you from the surface you wish to burn. You can find a wood burning transfer tip on a variety of products, including a portable stand that can hold it. Before you purchase any products, it is important to learn how to add a wooden burning transfer tip and how to use it with a woodburning tool.
Carbon paper
Carbon paper can be used as a wood-burning transfer tip. You need to prepare your paper ahead of time. The first step is to fold the pattern paper in half. Next, use a soft pencil to redraw the entire design. Once you are done with the transfer, you will be able to remove the carbon paper from the area and redraw the design. You can even use an ink pen to trace your design lines. You can burn ink lines, but be sure to keep your pattern straight.
While carbon paper is preferred by most buyers, some users find it difficult and cumbersome to use. Some prefer to trace using tracing. However, it works well. To prevent the paper from tearing, you must be careful not to burn it. Classic materials are good choices for carbon paper. They can also be reused. You can also save time as well as paper. Carbon paper can also serve many purposes. The carbon paper is often available in a zip-lock bag.
Photo paper
When burning a photo, you may be tempted to just burn the entire photo. Mirroring the photo is important in order to print all text correctly. The glossy side of the image should not be touched as it can scratch the ink. A chartpak colorless, blender pen is available if you wish to transfer a larger photo. This pen can transfer detailed lines and images for $5. It is available in a range of colors and costs around $5.
Photo paper is an excellent option for transferring patterns to smaller canvas sizes. Photo paper is easy and convenient. It also avoids messy carbon papers. You need to make sure that the photo paper you choose is not absorbs the ink. Lay it ink side down on the wood, and lift it off to reveal a fully transferred image.

Graphite pencil
When you use a graphite stick for wood burning transfer, the most important thing is a piece of tracing papers. This paper will serve as your guide when transferring a design to wood. You must first decide what design you want to transfer in order to make the transfer process as simple as possible. You can choose from a simple or more complicated design depending on your design. You may need to print the design before you transfer it.
Place graphite paper on the dark side of the wood. Use light to medium pressure to follow the design guidelines. Once you're finished, remove the paper. You can now transfer the design. For beginners, you can trace the design directly without needing to use a design paper. However, it won't be nearly as effective as using graphite pencils as it will cause wood to become stiff.
