Recently, I bought a wood burning kit and I've been experimenting with different techniques! I thrifted some wood bowls recently. These easy doggie bowls were a good first project. Here's what I did…
1. Supplies: Wooden bowls, wood burning tool, letter stickers. 2. Begin by applying stickers to the outside of the bowl. Be very careful, making sure they line up perfectly. 3. Next, begin tracing the stickers with the wood burner. 4. Once you've traced each letter, carefully remove the stickers. 5. Lastly, add a small period to the end of each word with the burner. 6. Remove stickers and touch up any messy lines. Note: This tool can be dangerous. Be sure to follow all directions and warning that come with your tool.
Stay tuned for a second wood burning project later this week! We're having so much fun playing with this new tool. XO. Emma + Kinsey

Woo hoo! First person to comment! Also such a great idea and I love the wood!
Holy calzone! Sooo cute! Anybody know where I can buy similar bowls new? I thrift all kinds of wooden bowls, but I’ve never seen any with those nice, straight sides.
For a second I thought that this is so stupid, dogs can’t read! Then I realised that it’s the humans who fill the bowls. LOL, I’m feeling so stupid right now 😀
I love this! I actually just saw a wood burner today at Joann’s and told my husband we should get it (of course we didn’t!) Now I’m going to have to get back. I need to make these!
This is awesome! My dad has one of these and I’ve seen so many awesome projects, but I’ve been intimidated, haha. I think I might try and give it a go! 🙂
This is so cute, I used to have an eggcup with my name on it that was made at a craft fair, it was my favourite possession for ages…it makes me sad that I can’t find it now.
every time I have money in my paypal account I start eyeing up peculiar things like wood burners on ebay. These look really cool-might have to give into temptation next time!
I love these bowls! I’m tempted to make them even though I don’t have a dog! There are so many possibilities for this technique. I’m sure I’ll be able to come up with another similar project. Thanks for the inspiration!
They are really cute buuuut wood bowls aren’t really usually recommended for pets since they’re hard to actually get as clean as they should be. This is why most pet bowls sold are stainless steel or ceramic as they can withstand high temperatures without damage. I would probably put stainless steel bowls inset because make a cute outer bowl.
They look great! I would love to do something like woodburning. It just adds so much more possibility to the things I could make! Also, your pug is sooo cute!
This is so cool! I might be incredible out of the loop here, but I didn’t even know something like this existed 😛 Where did you get the wood burning kit from?
I received a wood burning kit as a present when I was a kid and it was one of the best things ever! I spent hours and hours working on projects. So fun to see it here!
These bowls are awesome! I have two dogs-so we’re always on the lookout for cute customized ways to make their bowls a little more fun! I’ll definitely have to try this technique sometime! You guys never fail to make me jealous of your amazing creativity! Great post! Be sure to check out my blog @ thehappyshoes.blogspot.com! Thanks! 🙂
Wow this is so amazing i can think of tons of things to do with that wood burner tool, i loved it and this is the first time i ever heard of it, thanks for sharing!
Gah! This is the second awesome wood burning project that I have seen in the past week, therefor I believe this is a sign that I must purchase a wood burning tool and get to work! So awesome.
My brother and his girlfriend have a plaque with their names on it that they got there by using the wood burning technique. I’ve always admired it but never knew how to do it or what to do use the technique on.
These turned out so nice! I got a wood burner a few years back and only used it once. I’ve been thinking of whipping out lately and doing something creative with it, but I didn’t know what. If I find any cute wood bowl like this at the thrift store, I’ll totally make some for my cats! Or my friends’ cats! 😀

You can do so many great things with a wood burner, like decorating trays or picture frames. These bowls you made look great!

Ohh love this! You could do so much. Awesome signs and decor, even furniture!
This is so cool! I can’t wait to try.

This is awesome. Dog bowls seem like the perfect starter project, I’d love to try this out!
Awesome! If these were for a kitty, I would totally make three: EAT, DRINK, BE MERRY. The last one, of course, being for catnip! 😉
This is so cool!

Those are cute! I haven’t done wood burning since high school, I’m going to have to save this for when we finally get a dog!

I love this idea! Where did you get the kit from Emma? x
Oh I love this idea! It’s very unlikely that I’d buy a wood burning kit, but I definitely might try this with just paint instead
That’s really, really cool idea! 😀

Super, all though I think my dogs eat the bowl with their food 😛

Ohhhhhhhh!! *drools* those bowls are gorgeous! Maybe on my next thrifting sesh…
This is awesome!
What a really cool technique and I love the style of this.
My brother and his girlfriend have a plaque with their names on it that they got there by using the wood burning technique. I’ve always admired it but never knew how to do it or what to do use the technique on.
These are beyond cute! Thank you for sharing 🙂
