Personalize Your Wood Gifts With Handwriting!

One of the best ways to make one of our Stuff From Trees wood gifts special and one-of-a-kind is with personalization. Danny has wood burned names, photos, dates and various other additions to our pieces, and now we can add handwriting to them, too!

One of most recent custom orders came from a longtime customer and friend who wanted a personalized cutting board for a Christmas gift. She provided us with a handwritten recipe card to wood burn in the center, and it was the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen!

After transferring the writing, sheep and border, he carefully went over it and burned them into place. The end result was a perfect copy of the recipe on a one-of-a-kind Christmas present for someone special.

Step two was to test the recipe and make sure it was tasty enough to share the recipe (wink, wink). Danny followed the recipe and made these no-bake cookies - and they were fabulous! We had to put them in a container and hide them away so we wouldn’t eat them all in one sitting!

So this is actually two gifts in one: a personalized cutting board with an amazing recipe on it. We’re so excited about this becoming a treasured gift this Christmas.

What can we personalize for you? Any of the wood items in the shop can be wood burned, or you can order a custom piece made to order. Let us know how we can help you give a one-of-a-kind gift.

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit
