Carbon paper
Prepare your pattern paper before you use carbon paper as a tip for wood burning. The first step is to fold the pattern paper in half. Next, take a soft-lead pencil and rub the entire design with it. After you've completed the transfer you can take out the carbon paper and redecorate your design. You can also trace your lines with an ink pen. You will see lines when you burn the ink, so make sure to carefully follow your pattern.
While most buyers report that using carbon paper is convenient, some found it difficult to use properly. Some prefer to use the tracing paper.

However, mirroring the image will ensure that the text will print correctly. The glossy side of the image should not be touched as it can scratch the ink.

Tips on how to drive a nail in wood
It is essential to pick the right size and style of hammer before you can drive a nail in wood. There are many types of hammers that you will find: claw hammers and sledgehammers; mallets; ball peen hammers; and hatchets. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses. A claw hammer is best for hitting nails or hard objects. However, it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly where the blow will land. Although a sledgehammer can be used to hit large areas quickly, it is too heavy to be useful for small tasks.
After choosing the right hammer, place your hand flat against the side of the head so that the handle rests comfortably in your palm. Grip the handle firmly, but don't squeeze it so tightly that you hurt yourself. Hold the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. Then swing the hammer back toward the ground, aiming for the center of the nail. You should feel the impact on the nail from the hammer. Try practicing with a block to help you master the art of swinging a stick.
When you're ready to start driving the nail, hold the hammer in front of you close to your body. Place the nail so that it is perpendicular with the wood's surface. Keep your eyes focused directly on the tip of the nail. Then, swing the hammer forward. Next, follow the motion of your hammerhead. Keep doing this until you are comfortable with the swing. Once you have mastered this technique, increase the power of your swings. You can hold the hammer over your shoulder and forcefully bring it down. This will help you put more energy behind each of your moves.
Once you've made the first nail hole, take out the hammer. The rest of the nails can be pulled out using a screwdriver, pry bar, or a hammer. Keep the nails heads in line with the surface of the board to prevent splitting the wood.
