Wood and plastic get transformed with a Bernzomatic FirePoint creator tool

, by . Leave a Comment

I had the pleasure of taking a class hosted by the Bernzomatic people learning how to use their FirePoint tool.

This tool can burn wood and that’s exactly what we did to the legs of this wood candle stand. I followed all their safety precautions and it was so fun!

This was totally new to me and I had such a blast. I did the sides solid burn but I left the end-grain striped.

This Bernzomatic FirePoint tool also melts plexiglass like butter! With just a few passes of the flame this sheet of plastic could be bent at a 90 degree angle and cooled in short order.

I will be definitely making more fun wood and plexi projects with this Bernzomatic FirePoint tool .

Modern patterned recycled cardboard and TP tube sculptures

I have posted other recycled cardboard sculpture crafts but today’s really caught my eye for two reasons. The first is the fun way simple patterns created on the surfaces really made this look modern and fun. The second was using a tp tube as the base. The combo of the ovals and the tp tube just went together nicely. Pop on over to the blog Artful Parent to see more about how to make painted patterned recycled cardboard and TP tube sculptures.
