Popular Crafts Magazine Product review

I was recently given the opportunity by www.popularcrafts.com to test & review a craft tool for them, the item chosen was the Pyro Master pyrography tool by Antex, which came with 19 interchangeable burning tips, blank wooden keyring & leather fridge magnet. It's a neat little tool, easy to use especially for someone who hasn't tried pyrography before, like me!!


I decided to make a double wooden heart hanger with polka dot fabric & ribbon. I gathered my items & began.
                                                    

The hearts burnt onto the large heart were quite easy to manage & I soon began to really enjoy creating something new, I thought it would be nice to include some colour to my design & the fabric & ribbon fitted in quite nicely.


For the smaller heart I decided to have a go at writing a small message & Home Sweet Home seemed to be perfect for my design, I did practise on a scrap piece of wood just to get the feel of writing with the tool & although it isn't perfect, I think it looks pretty good for a first attempt...even if I do say so myself!
My finished Design

I just want to say a big thank you to Popular Crafts Magazine for letting me try something new.
