Step 1: Preparing the plywood panel

Start by designing your plywood panel. Place your stencil on the board and trace the desired motifs with a pencil. The pencil is ideal as you can easily remove lines if something is not perfect.

The next step is to drill two holes in the plywood board. These should have a diameter of about 12 mm and be placed at the top of the board to hang the advent calendar later.

Step 2: Using the branding iron

The branding iron is a versatile tool for decorating wood. Select a suitable wooden burning pen accessoires or branding iron and screw it into the flask. Make sure to place the flask on the stand to protect surfaces from heat. Plug the plugs into the socket and allow the device to heat up for about 5 minutes.
