Ways To Personalise Your Wedding Gifts

There are many ways to print words on to wood…..some ways are far better than others……here is a run down with the least satisfactory heading the list…..

  • Iron   Although an iron is cheap and fast, it does not produce reliable results.

  • Acrylic Gel The backing paper is harder to remove compared with Acetone or Polycrylic

  • Acetone Clean and quick but images do not come out satisfactorily. OK for lettering.

  • CNC Laser Expensive and the images and lettering tend to have a brown tinge depending upon the type of wood used.

  • Polycrylic The recommended option. Prints a dark crisp image and lettering for the cost of a tin of polycrylic. 

TedsWoodworking Plans and Projects

How To Use Polycrylic

  • PolycrylicPaint the Polycrylic, a water based polyurethane, onto the wood using a small brush

  • Place the paper with the image on it, face down, onto the wood  block. Smooth down the paper, ensuring all the air bubbles are removed. Then put it on one side for an hour to dry.

  • Dampen the backing paper, which is then removed using a stiff toothbrush. Keep the backing paper damp to facilitate removal.

  • Finish with a lacquer

The preceding instructions have been taken from this video.

Here is another video which shows you how to transfer photos on to wood.

There are three other ways of personalising gifts….. pyrography, stencilling and carving. Take look at my post

I have always loved wood crafts. In my teens it was model gliders, ships in bottles, puppets, wooden toys.... Then I had to earn a crust and became a civil engineer designing and building bridges, motorways, schools...until I became a video producer. On retiring I started making dolls houses but now I am a blogger concentrating on my love of wood.
