Wood Burned Tea Box
I started by lightly sketching a tea cup onto the top of the box. The cup was the only thing I sketched, everything else I just freehanded while I was burning it. After I drew the cup, I just burned some fun leaves and scallops along the sides of the box to further embellish it.
After that, I coated it in wood conditioner (not included in the kit) and a bit of wood stain. (the stain was included in the kit.). It was my first ever piece of wood to stain, so it is a bit splotchy, but I don’t think it’s too bad!
I really love wood burning now, I’ve got a couple of cheap wooden plaques that I’m going to burn. I just have to decide what I’m going to burn into them first. 😉

Your box turned out so good! I saw the project on Darby Smart and thought it look really cool but I have never wood burn before so ended up going with another kit. Maybe now I''l give it try. I also love the design you picked because you never have too much tea 😉
Thanks! I'm loving this wood burning kit.
Congrats on your nit darby kit, btw! Darby Smart is such an awesome company to design for.
